This is PTUI release 1.0
===========================

What is PTUI anyway?
--------------------

Python/Tkinter User Interface is my attempt to create
an environment where you can run code from within the
tk mainloop like the wish interpreter.  PTUI uses a
small framework of classes that could be imbedded into
a larger application to facilitate rapid developement
and testing.

PTUI is gaining features of an integrated developement
environment.  It has an object browser, highlighting of
errors, auto-indentation, and syntax highlighting.

For additional information, see:

	http://althor.netspace.org/ptui/

There is a PTUI mailing list for the dicussing of the use 
and development of PTUI.  Send mail to:

	ptui-request@althor.netspace.org

with subscribe in the body.  To send mail to the list, use:

	ptui@althor.netspace.org


What you need
-------------

PTUI assumes you have Python 1.4.  I have now tested PTUI using
Linux, Solaris, and Macintosh.  In fact, much of version 1.0
was developed with my Mac (running MacOS instead of the usual
MkLinux)

- Tkinter
	- You'll need Tcl/Tk version 7.4/4.0 or higher
	- It comes with the standard distribution, just uncomment
	  the line in your Setup file in the Modules directory.

Read the License.py file for license and bug report information.

To install, create an alias to the ptui script somewhere along your
path:

	ln -s /tmp/ptui-1.0/ptui /usr/local/ptui

or some such thing.

If you want to customize things, copy the defaults.py file to ~/.ptui
and create an alias

	alias ptui="ptui -i ~/.ptui"

The -i flag will run the next arg as an initialization script.

I will try to stream line this process.  Please email me with
suggestions or join the mailing list.
