SUIT version 2.3 actually has a Python wrapper! We've been using
and testing the wrapper for some time now and are pretty happy with
the way it behaves, so we've been thinking about posting it here, and
making it available at the uvacs ftp site.
SUIT's primary claim to fame is ease of use and the extremely nice
learning curve. For more info on SUIT, you can
finger suit@virginia.edu
Things are nuts right now (spring break coming up), but within the next
24 hours, I will make sure that the wrappers and the SUITmodule.C gets
put into the public ftp place for people to try.
cheers,
Matt

| Have you looked at SUIT. Simple User Interface Toolkit - delevoped here
| at the University of Virginia. ( Well, not *right* *HERE* -- at the UVA CS
| dept., I mean! Despite being at UVA, I have only recently discovered
| this package. )
|
| I have tried the suit unix demo.
| I haven't yet managed to build python with the SUIT interface.
| ( I got distracted by trying to get the dynamic loading for AIX
| working before I tackled that. )
| I have since notices a note that says that that extension module
| is not yet finished. Who was working on it? Can we have a status
| report ?

|
| If you want to see what SUIT by itself will do ( without Python )
| binary demo's are available in uvacs.cs.virginia.edu:/pub/suit/demo
