Very, very nice!
Not an entanglement in sight.
This is the first I've heard about libsx, but I'll be learning a lot
more about it. So far I've found:
*
http://www.ee.usyd.edu.au/tutorials/ee_database/programming/libsx/libsx.html
* http://www.nada.kth.se/~sungam/libsx/general.libsx.html
* /usr/share/doc/libsx-dev/examples
Unfortunately, a 5 minute Google search found no Python implementation
of libsx. I don't need C for forms: The speed bottleneck is the typist
anyway.
But then again, I could have somebody define a form in some sort of
data file, parse that and convert to a simple C program, call gcc to
make it into an executable. Rapid Application Development, Army Surplus
style, which of course makes me a pariah in the eyes of "real"
programmers. Life's tough.
Thanks so much for cluing me into this!
