While I have been fiddeling with pyGTK I have found that debugging can be a bit of a problem as the GTK backend seams to handle errors silently and doesn't like pyscripter breakpoints. Further more, one of the things i want to add later is networkability so you can control your machines using a lan or over Wifi. I have been wondering for a while about how best to do this and then I came across this. And loe and behold that's what they have done. Their system works on the bottle web server and lots of javascript. I think we can go 1 better here and use Django and html5 and then for the icing on the cake, WebGL to provide a 3D representation of the program we are running and the machine it is running on.
There are actually lots of advantages to using a web interface. Its portable across systems, since all you need to use it is a machine with a browser. The user can be any distance from the machine they are using. It can be made to look like any other system with a bit of coding and a css script.
Books have been ordered. Tutorials are being read. Threading code is being rewritten. Soon something good should be produced.
