What: Poet (Prototype Object Extension for Tcl)
Where: http://poet.sf.net/
Description: Poet is an object-oriented extension to Tcl/Tk that
features prototype-based inheritance, constraints, and persistence. It
includes Poetics (Poet Integrated Construction Set), a set of tools
allowing the end-user to inspect and modify a running Poet
application. Poetics isn't ready for end-user use yet, but it can be a
valuable asset for the Poet application developer.
Poet is available in source or starkit form. The starkit has the
binary code for Windows. Mac OS X, and Intel Linux.
Currently at version 2.1.0.
Updated: 1/2008
Contact: See web siteThe slides from the Tcl'2007 presentation are now available at the site above. The latest release includes the slideshow program as an example of how to set up and wrap a Poet application.
Version 2.1.0 released. This release has been updated for Tcl/Tk 8.5.0, including the assimilation of Ttk widgets. Poet has now been compiled for the Mac (OS X, Tcl 8.5 only) and Poet.kit is now a combined Windows/Mac/Linux kit. Numerous bug fixes, including one in the C code, so even 8.4 users should upgrade.
The poet.sourceforge.net website now includes two screen-capture videos, one presenting Poet and one presenting Poetics.
