I'm pleased to announce the third alpha release of PIDDLE (Plug-In Drawing, Does Little Else). PIDDLE is a cross-platform, cross-media drawing API; by choosing the desired backend renderer, your Python program can generate output to the PDF, EPS, TK, MacOS QuickDraw, a PIL canvas (and from there to PNG, GIF, JPEG, etc.), and others. This version adds a unified testing framework, and a number of bug fixes. To download, visit the PIDDLE home page: http://www.strout.net/python/piddle/ PIDDLE is written in 100% Python, but some backends require extensions (such as PIL) or may work on only certain platforms (such as MacOS QuickDraw). Comments and feedback are welcome; visit the mailing list at http://www.egroups.com/list/pythonpiddle/info.html to join the discussion.
