Message 62012 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

This patch removes the gui tk control panel and replaces it with a navigation bar on the served web pages.

This offers a nicer user experience because one no longer needs to jump back and forth between windows.

The navbar supports getting specific modules, searching modules, and returning to the main module index. I believe the file source view is safer also.

Possible issues...

• Restarting the server without ending it causes an error do to the port already being used. I think this is not new.

• There may be some brakage if other applications depend on the tk interface, but I don't think any do. Or at least none that I know of.

• I haven't tested this on windows. (It works well on Ubuntu 7.10)
