dLimitMay the 4th be with you!09:40
charlvndLimit: may the source be with you11:31
dLimitThe source surrounds us and penetrates us and binds the OS together.11:34
charlvnlol11:37
charlvnthe source is shared by all electronic life forms11:37
charlvnit flows over the interwebs11:38
charlvnand if you are silent you can hear it whistling between the binary trees11:38
zerefhmmmm13:31
zerefqt vs GTK vs wxwidgets, anybody with experience?13:31
charlvnqt yes, not the other two13:32
charlvnso hard to compare :/13:32
tumbleweedused them all, but none of them very much13:32
zerefthinking of making a cross platform game...13:33
zerefi'm leaning towrds qt13:33
tumbleweedwhat language?13:34
zerefpython13:35
charlvnafaik qt looks good in both kde and gnome13:35
charlvnnot sure about the other two but i assume these days it doesn't matter much13:35
zerefqt on windows?13:36
charlvnqt works on practically anything13:37
charlvnalthough never tried it on osx13:37
charlvni heard a whole lot of hype about qt on mobile devices but don't have any experience with that either13:38
zerefkk13:38
tumbleweedQt does a lot to help you write cross-platform code, but that'll benefit C++ more than Python13:40
tumbleweedall 3 of those options work fine on widnows, OSX, linux13:40
charlvnin python qt is only used as a gui lib13:42
charlvni think13:42
tumbleweedwell, you can use all the other bits if you want to, but why would you :)13:44
charlvnyeah exactly13:44
zerefcool, thanks guys13:52
superflyzeref: if you're writing a game, why not PyGame?14:56
tumbleweedyeah, our experience from pyweek is that to get a python game to be user-friendly cross-platform (easy to install for users) you pretty much have to stick to pygame and write your own widgets (or bundle a pure-python widget library)14:57
