Earlier, I cheered the sexiness that is Python. One of the reasons I haven't been blogging so much as of late is because I've been fiddling about with it. However, I have hit a stumbling block. I would like to make a GUI application. I really would. It seems most people use Tkinter for this. Tkinter seems to be the worst-documented module in the history of computing. I've found 'tutorials' that show you how to write a 'Hello World' app, followed by "Okay, now here's some technical shit, and a list of the widgets you can use but no documentation on how to implement them." I've encountered comprehensive lists of parameters and syntax, complete with code snippets that don't run. I've found idiosyncratic coding styles that are impossible to learn anything from. And as I am now using Rachelle's Mac, Pydev on Eclipse (which i am incredibly comfortable with, srsly guize, you should try it if you're not on a mac) is constantly bitching at me for perfectly legitimate code saying things aren't defined (when similar copypasta'd code caused no such issues back in windowsville) and therefore making it impossible to tell whether I'm actually dicking something up or if it's just being a PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT. Snarl.
So basically, if you've ever written something functional with Tkinter in Python, care to tell me how the hell you figured it out? Maybe Macs are just Kryptonite to my mad Google-fu, but I can't find shit on this. At the moment I just want to make a window with a drop down menu and some checkboxes or somewhat. Perhaps have it generate a message box. Nothing too tricky. What the balls.
UPDATE: I may have figured it out. Mac+Eclipse is still being a whiny bitch, but I am incredibly awesome. Just thought you should know.
UPDATE TO UPDATE: Srsly. My awesomeness cannot be expressed in words. NOT EVEN THE INTERWEBS CAN STOP ME NOW! (The lack thereof, however, just might)
