AVC is a multiplatform, fully automatic, live connection among
graphical interface widgets and application variables for the
python
language.
AVC supports in a uniform way the most popular widget toolkits:
GTK+,
Qt3,
Qt4,
Tk,
wxWidgets.
The
Swing
widget toolkit for the
java
environment is also supported via the
jython compiler.
AVC is a python package that can be imported by any python or jython
application.
The display and the control of some application data through
a GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a central problem in GUI programming,
it absorbs a relevant part of the programming effort.
AVC makes
this programming very easy, far more easy than traditional solutions
based on MVC (Model View Controller).
15-Feb-2011: released AVC 0.8.3.
Added widget toolkit printing to testing printout and changed some internals:
program version management and directory structure for Debian package building.
