Spe Release Notes

• Kiki:

  Regular Expression (regex) console. For more info: http://project5.freezope.org/kiki/index.html

• PyChecker:

  PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint. For more info: http://pychecker.sourceforge.net

• wxGlade:

  wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the popular GUI toolkit wxPython, that helps you create wxWindows/wxPython user interfaces.

[a] - the wxGlade team http://wxglade.sourceforge.net

[a]

• Kiki:

  "Kiki is a Regex tool which I think could be useful in Spe for the idiots who, like me, aren't capable of Thinking In Regex. It's inspired by - but has no code at all in common with - a Tkinter tool called Recon (regex console). I've attached the current snapshot, which is very much not the finished product, even though it does work. Planned features include: colored parentheses showing the start/end of groups in re matches (currently parens just wrap the match), overviews of all named and unnamed groups for every match, docs in the Help."
