I know its alpha, I know its not finished, many widgets and controls are
not yet implemented. I found the online help files, they are pretty
good. I only need to do fairly simple data input and output forms and
front ends at this time. Before I spend the considerable time to learn
the GUI designer part of Boa Constructor well enough to use it, can
anyone tell me whether it is far enough along to be able to use it to
design simple GUI front ends?? I do not mind being artificially
restricted to whichever buttons, menus etc. are already implemented in
Boa Constructor, as long as there are enough to get along with for
simple use, and it is far enough along to generate working frame and
widget combinations, because:::>>>

I find the basic design, style, and ideology behind Boa Constructor to
be really beautiful and just what I am looking for...
check it out if you haven't already...is it free for now as far as I can
tell??? Will it be costly when it is completed, or will a version of it
always be available for free??? Is it open source?? Does anyone know???
Has anyone used it??? Does anyone have an opinion about Boa
Constructor???????

It lloks to me like a beautiful, reasonably easy to learn and use,
visual GUi designer for wxPython.

All comments greatly appreciated...
