Python and Rev

[Joel Guillod]

> Anybody familiar with Ruby or WideStudio?

Personnaly I use Eclipse + PyDev + Ant + wxDesigner for GUI (I am 
trying it currently) + wxPython (i.e. a wrapper for the wxWidgets as 
the multiplatform GUI). At first a bit more complex than Revolution or 
RealBasic IDE but opensource, much more reliable and quick fixes by the 
wide developers' community, object oriented with more complex data 
structures and many important modules ready to use (xslt, database, 
sockets, easy C/C++ externals, ...). Like others I will probably keep 
Rev for some programming but the most important - and the most 
difficult - is to use the right tool for the right thing...!

Why not? But under MacOSX 3.x you just have to run the following script:

   put "print 'hello'" into thePythonScript
   put shell("python -c " &quote& thePythonScript & quote)

(also similar for ruby...).
