FarPy GUIE

GUIE (GUI Editor) provides a simple WYSIWYG GUI editor for wxPython. The program was made in C# and saves the GUI that was created to a XML format I called GUIML. This GUIML is a pretty standrad representation of the GUI created with the program. Next, GUIE takes these GUIML files and translates it to wxPython Python code. You may ask yourself why I took the extra step? Why didn''t I go straight from C# controls to wxPython code? Why is GUIML neccessary? Well, it isn''t. It is there simply for people (or maybe I) to take the GUIML and convert it to other languages. This, by affect can convert this tool from a Python GUI editor, to &"any programming language with a GUI module&" GUI editor. The GUI Editor was built to be as point && click as possible, trying to avoid wxPython''s sizers completly. This means that controls can go anywhere, and you have the freedom to play with the GUI however you want. However, this also means that until some more advanced aligning features are added, this method might be a little awkward at first.
