Request: wxPython

Post by alenofx »

Hi,

I'm using Deluge 0.5.5 on Mac OS X + X11 and Linux;
it's great, but why don't switch to wxPython instead of Glade/GTK?
With Python + wxPython, Deluge can be multi-platform without the needs to make platform ports.

PS: sorry for my bad english.

well, for starters, we'd have to rewrite everything... wxWidgets are getting old, even things like VLC are moving away from them. we wouldn't be able to use glade files anymore, either. Deluge was started to be a native GTK client, and that's what it is. Besides, GTK is cross platform, the GUI wasn't the hard part of the port
