GSoC Student Introduction, again
Hi, I have been accepted as a student for GSoC and I'm already working in my project, "Bringing Ttk to Tkinter". This is my second GSoC, first time in PSF, and it has been awesome to have Fredrik Lundh as mentor, we have talked a lot and he is a very nice person. Regarding the project, I expect it to be integrated into Python's stdlib sometime in the future, I believe it will be in very good shape before binaries compiled against tcl/tk 8.5 start showing up. I've put a site that contains all the information available, which may be of interest, at http://gpolo.ath.cx:81/projects/ttk_to_tkinter/ and will be updating it as necessary. There is also a repo you may take a look: http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/ttk-gsoc/ Thank you all, -- -- Guilherme H. Polo Goncalves
Regarding the project, I expect it to be integrated into Python's stdlib sometime in the future, I believe it will be in very good shape before binaries compiled against tcl/tk 8.5 start showing up.
Actually, I would like to release Python 2.6 and 3.0 on Windows with Tk 8.5 included, preferably starting at the next betas. Would you see a problem with that? Regards, Martin

I've already wrapped all the Ttk functionality by now, and I will complete the documentation till the first betas. But as you know there isn't much people using (I know myself and a Tcl guy) so I'm not sure if it would be acceptable to include this module right into these betas, or would it be ? Should I start doing something more/else ?

No. My question really was whether you see any reason not to bundle Tk 8.5 with Python 2.6 (on Windows). Whether or not the Ttk API is exposed is a different matter - you might consider providing it as a distutils package. Regards, Martin

No reasons that I'm aware of, Martin. I haven't tested it under Windows myself but given that it is not supposed to break tk 8.4 apps and I haven't experienced bugs here in Linux, I would say it is a safe bet to start bundling Tk 8.5 within the first betas.
