Long time, no release....
I'm pleased to announce a new release which is generally a tidy up plus a few new features:
- LICENSE CHANGED: Now licensed under a more liberal MIT License.
- Changes to engines to allow embedding an engine in host applications using any of the supported GUI toolkits.
- Improved setup.py installation script adding PTK menu item.
- New toolbars implemented should give better macos support and dropdown menu items.
- Added engine control menus (right click on engine tab) including kill engine, and rename.
- Added ctrl+enter to enter multi-line commands
- Added run script options:
- run in current engine
- run in new engine
- run as external process including a new script console to redirect stdIO from the new process and hyperlinks to source files on exceptions.
Hopefully future releases will be more forthcoming...

About

PythonToolkit (PTK) is an interactive environment for python. It was originally designed to provide a python based environment similiar to Matlab for scientists and engineers when used together with the numpy, scipy and matplotlib python packages. However it can also be used as a general purpose interactive python environment especially for interactive gui programming.

It is built around a console window and simple python source editor and a Tool plugin system so that extra features and support for python packages can be easily added.

Main features

Console window with support for multiple python interpreters(Engines)
Engines are external processes so that each engine is completely seperated from the others and the PTK interface.
Interactively program with different GUI toolkits (wxPython, TkInter, pyGTK, pyQT4 and PySide).
Builtin python debugger integrated with tools and editor.
Object auto-completions and calltips.
Multi-line command editing.
Command history (previous/next and search for partially typed commands).
Simple editor for code testing and scripting or everyday work.
Set, edit and clear debugger breakpoints via the editor.
A matlab style namespace/workspace browser tool that can be extended to support new types and classes.
A path manager tool to easily change the current working directory and manage the python search paths.
A python object inspector tool showing object docstring, code, and values.
GUI viewers for python data types - more can be easily added!
Python object importer/exporter system to save and load data easily - new importers/exporters can be added!

Requirements

PTK is written in python using the cross platform wxPython gui libary so it should run wherever wxPython runs. It is currently tested/developed on Ubuntu and windowsXP.

Python (version 2.7) UPDATED version 12.08
wxPython (version 2.8+)
