Raymond, I have had a very vague idea of doing something like this. Thanks for posting something more concrete. I share the sentiments of your last sentence.
Reading Stackoverflow, it is apparent that some people with two+ Python versions do not know that a package must be installed for each version of Python, and have less idea how to install for the non-default version. (All I know is to cd to pythonxy, or maybe pythonxy/scripts and run pip from there, or something like that.) Running from Idle (x.y) would take of this.
Donald: at Raymond's behest, Idle now has a menu entry to run turtledemo, a separate application that is useful to beginners, in part to make turtledemo more visible. pip_gui could easily follow the same model. No direct interaction with the Idle shell or edit windows is needed. If you are less familiar with tkinter than I am, I would help with the gui part. As hinted above, I am not the one to decide on menu options and write the implementation functions. |
