This new release features a much improved installer. The new installer accepts command line options (see INSTALL for details) that allow naming the install location within the file hierarchy, it installs a "boot script" and adds a symlink to the /bin directory so that starting the app is more like that of "regular" Linux apps. the installer can also clean the "build" directory, if desired. Also added more error checking. Some code kludges are also fixed with this release.

PyTurns-n-Layers-1.0.4 has been released. This new release includes the addition of command button icons, a new "Exit" command button, and a greatly improved install script.

Added a new install script to this distribution. The new script takes care of installing directories/files to the system in a more orderly fashion. The script also performs a system check to verify a working FXPy install.

PyTurns-n-Layers-1.0.1 released. This update includes some fixes to internal kludginess, enhanced presentation of message texts, and a more stream-lined package to simply installation.

PyTurns-n-Layers is a Python version of the C++ based FXTurns-n-Layers. PyTurns-n-Layers was written with FXPy, the Python version of the FOX tool kit. PyTurns-n-Layers offers the same functionality as well as look and feel of the C++ version, but implemented in the Python scripting language. The application is being offered in "tarball" form so that it is convenient to include both the FOX and FXPy "tarballs", in case you don't have these shared libs/Python site package.
