SpecPython is a GUI-Builder for Python + Tkinter. It is based on
SpecTcl/SpecJava (the gui builder for Tcl).


This is version 0.1 of SpecPython. I wrote it in 2 days, so it is
incomplete. But a lot of things are supported.

I would appreciate any suggestions, bug reports, patches or whatever.


What do you need?
---------------
	- SpecJava 0.3 and tcl7.5, tk4.1 or higher with blt
	- SpecTcl 1.0 and tcl7.6, tk4.2 or higher


Install:
--------
1)	Install SpecJava or SpecTcl
2)	Copy python_init.tk into your specjava/spectcl directory
        (e.g. /usr/local/lib/SpecTcl).
3)	Change the environment variables in specPython.
4)	Copy specPython into your bin directory
	(e.g. /usr/local/bin).
5)	Copy SpecTclrc into your home directory.

SpecTclrc contain a bit of code that creates tcl images for all gif
files in your current directory. It creates an images with the name x
if the name of the image file is x.gif. You can use these images in
SpecPython.


Features:
---------
SpecPython creates:
	- a class. You should inherit you application class from this
	  class.
	- instances for all specified variables with StringVar ().
	- images for all specified images.
	- empty callback for each command.
	- all widgets.
	- the scrollbar/listbox connections

Examples:
---------
SpecPython generates code like this:

# generated by SpecPython

# interface generated by SpecTcl version 0.3 from untitled.py.ui
# Experimental python tk version using the grid geometry manager
