[JDEV] BeOS Client

[Joseph Jones]

I thought there was already a port of Python to the Be done by Chris 
Herborth? Or are you adding a native UI module to it?

Hmm...AFAIK, the current state of BeOS Python lacks any Tcl/Tk support 
for UI development. This would mean that, to use Python there would 
still have to be some C++ application that somehow had a way of talking 
to a Python parser. Is this possible without doing some sort of client/
server thing? (I.E. calling into a pythion module as a shared module 
instead of sending messages to another running application.)

Please ntoe that I am not against Python at all. In fact, any reason to 
try to use this language beyond the simple little things I have done 
would be great! However, I'm not sure that this is the best way to go 
for the BeOS client at this time.
