|1= depending on how much progress bugman is going to make with his "python-integration-in-FlightGear" experiments (FGPythonSys), we may at some point even be able to ship FFGo as part of FGData (e.g. $FG_ROOT/Python/Apps/FFGo) and run it via FGPythonSys directly | |||

|1= if this FGPythonSys were integrated into FG, doing things in Python that are directly committed to the core (properly reviewed---well, as the C++ code) as opposed to coming from various uncontrolled external places would certainly be pretty interesting | |||

|1= The built-in launcher that James is writing would seem to me to be a good candidate for doing things in Python (assuming there are good bindings to the C++ data structures): you need high-level access to FG aircraft and airport data, it is not performance critical, the need for threading is certainly rather limited, the code does not come from a random hangar and can be audited just like the C++ code when committed, probably by more people actually. Add to this that PyQt works very well (I have had a very pleasant experience with PyQt 3&4 under Python 2&3, and if I get enough time, I'll maybe port FFGo to PyQt---Tk is useful, clearly, but frustrating; for example Qt's QAbstractItemModel and QAbstractItemView were great to manage non-trivial tablular data; with Tk, table/tree cells are just strings and your program has to manage on its own to link that to the nice high-level Python data structures). | |||
(and I have tried other toolkits before Qt and Tk, namely GTK+ 1.2 and wxWidgets [around 2003] Bottom line: for me, Qt is the best) | |||
