python and swing?

[gregd99]

Guys,
I have written quite a bit of python linux and windows and have used the swing library.

is this already on the pi standard image somewhere or do I need to get it from somewhere?

Alternatively is there something similar that is better suited to the pi?

Thanks
Greg

From the sound of it you used Jython on Windows and not stock Python. Swing is a Java GUI library.

Python has a number of very good GUI libraries. So it is probably just a case of picking one and running with it.

A good start would be looking and choosing between py-gtk and PySide (which uses QT) but there are others.

absolutely right... it was jython. I tend to use the names interchangeably which is perhaps not very right.

let me have a look at the libraries you mention.

Thanks
