I am looking for someone who has time and interest to complete the development of ArchWD-editor. The layout is ready (wxPython). Need to get the push bottons to work.

I took a look at Magnum, but Python doesn't match my "bash" brain.

Penguin just rewrote aurbuild from bash to python... he'll tell you what's easier
I'd offer, but I really don't have time and I'd rather work on magnum at this time, sorry.

what do you want the buttons to do?

Open --> file browser to view a text file in left side box (open source file here)
Copy --> "Ctrl+c"
Paste --> "Ctrl+v"
Cut --> "Ctrl+x"
Exit (already is working)
Tab Rc.d --> editor (location $HOME/.fvwm/archwd-user/etc/rc.d)
New --> fresh file
Open --> file browser to load a file from ~/rc.d
Save --> save edited file in ~/rc.d
Save as --> save edited file with new name in ~/rc.d
Tab Rc.m (location $HOME/.fvwm/archwd-user/etc/rc.m)
Tab Rc.s (location $HOME/.fvwm/archwd-user/etc/rc.s)
Tab Conf.d (location $HOME/.fvwm/archwd-user/etc/conf.d)

gtk for bash, now go have fun.
please dont use wx. it's big and it's always been buggy for me. use pygtk (so many good tutorials and documentation) or aforementioned gtk-server thingy.

Thanks, thought asking how to go about.
What I liked with wxPython and Prima, both has a gui tool to develop a starting layout with widgets In gtk is there a such tool?

glade-2 is the tool you want. If you go with pygtk, I can code the functions up for you, it wouldn't be that hard.
Offline
Minimum requirement, there has to be an official Arch package, not AUR. Does pygtk?

pygtk is in repos, as is glade. Theres plenty of documentation on the web, and I am more than happy to answer questions or give you an introduction on irc or messenger.

rasat you're hilarious man
there's no need for writing your own editor. what if all projects did that??? then most coding time should be used on the same thing.
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

I see your point , but ArchWD Editor is more than an editor, a tool to develop configs. I am planning also to generate packages.
What it does, user can extract (copy) selected features and functions from existing big size FVWM configs. A function is divided in two or three sections. The tabs represent the sections. Once ready, the sections are compiled to a package (tarball).
Whatah is working on it. The draft looks good.

hmm, well, then it makes more sense. and it looks pretty good too. even though it looks like much work for little gain
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy
Offline
Little gain??
The idea just didn't come from the "sky" but when developing the packages you can find in the link (ArchWD-FVWM User Packages) edited in my previous post. But, we will only know once tested.

Not really. The whole unix philosophy is small tools seamlessly working together, not giant kludges trying to do everything. Would be better to import the data from a text file edited separately, in my KISS opinion.... ;-)

Dusty, you are suggesting to keep the editing and packaging as separate tools? I agree.

I'm suggesting allowing people to use their favourite editor rather than constricting them to a broken hack built in.
Think of web browsers. Does no-body else hate the fact that when they use their shortcut keys in this text-entry box that it doesn't work? What about the vim lovers? Would make sense to use an external editor *component* as the web browser text editor.

I have no idea what you are talking about ... broken hack built in... what??? Who and what is restricting the vim lovers?? Did you post in the wrong thread.

Nope.

Nope.
I will not call it "ArchWD Editor" but "Config Manager" or something similar as long as not using the word "editor". :idea:
