Last night, Andrea Gavana released his new Namespace Diff Tool (NDT) to the world. I got his permission to reprint his announcement here for all those people who don’t follow the wxPython mailing list. I think it sounds like a really cool tool. You should check it out and see what you think. Here is the announcement:
Description
===========
The `Namespace Diff Tool` (NDT) is a graphical user interface that can
be used to discover differences between different versions of a library,
or even between different iterations/sub-versions of the same library.
The tool can be used to identify what is missing and still needs to be
implemented, or what is new in a new release, which items do not have
docstrings and so on.
Full description of the original idea by Robin Dunn:
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/Phoenix/trunk/TODO.txt?vi…
:warning: As most of the widgets in the GUI are owner drawn or custom,
it is highly probable that the interface itself will look messy on other
platforms (Mac, I am talking to you). Please do try and create a patch to
fix any possible issue in this sense.
:note: Please refer to the TODOs section for a list of things that still
need
to be implemented.
Requirements
============
In order to run NDT, these packages need to be installed:
– Python 2.X (where 5 <= X <= 7);
- wxPython >= 2.8.10;
– SQLAlchemy >= 0.6.4.
More detailed instructions on how to use it, TODO items, list of
libraries/packages I tested NDT against, screenshots and download links can
be found here:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/main/NDT.html
If you stumble upon a bug (which is highly probable), please do let me
know. But most importantly, please do try and make an effort to create a
patch for the bug.
According to the thread, some bugs were already found and fixed.
I’m not sure when that widget was added, but you may need to go to wxPython 2.8.11 or 12. You can also comment or ask questions on the wxPython mailing list announcement. I see I didn’t link to that originally, so I fixed that in the post. Here’s the link too: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wxpython-users/oK8dfnLQ7Rc
Hi Jean-Paul,
thank you for the bug report, I believe I have fixed it in the latest update on my web page. However, I don’t have Ubuntu nor any virtual machine installed on my PC so I welcome any report of bugs/misbehaviours you may find.
Andrea.
