[PythonCE] Re Python CE and GUI work

[Telion]

Hi Brian,

I think you are the first person reporting about MIPS version.
Let me know if you find bug or you have suggestions.

For GUI, I do not really know if someone is working on something.
As Brad has indicated, we can create GUI apps using win32gui module.

Other than that, if you use calldll.pyd (and also maybe edll.py),
You can access other gui library offered in dll form.

I know there are game libararies for CE, gapi emulation.
http://frog.flipcode.com/GAPI_Emu/download.html

Personally, I'm thinking something like winpy 
(The name doesn't sound so good, though)

It offers compatibility for other win32 platforms,
and even UNIX type machine.

But I have not really done anything, yet.

I thinnk easiest way is to look for a Libarary already availabe for CE,
and use it through calldll --- to begin with --- and then
creating wrapper module later.

As for wxPython, I have thought about it.
I think there are a little to many requirements 
that have to be solvedto use it.
But I'll be pretty happy if someone can make it run on CE.

Conclusion:
Brad (who has skill) seems to be busy these days,
and me (who has a litlle more time) lacks in skill for
porting something serious.

So, we need someone else who has both skill and time.

                  --- or ---

Try to make use of GUI and/or Graphic libraries already ported on CE,
and start from there.

As I'm not a type who dreams and waits for eternity to be saved,
I will go into later choice unless first choice becomes reality.
