SWT bindings for Python... Ruby?

Hi guys,

Has anybody seen the PySWT project? It provides SWT wrappers that can
be used from Python to achieve native look and feel of GUI
applications. Go and take a look by yourselves:

I think it would be really nice to have something similar for Ruby
(no, I ain't volunteering ;))

Cheers,
Ed

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

Hi Edgardo

If you're looking for something similar in Ruby but don't want to port SWT, you might want to consider WxRuby. It is cross-platform (like Fox, Tk), but provides native-look widgets on Windows, Linux and OS X (unlike those).

I'm been very happy with it and used it for a large end-user application (see Weft QDA - a free, open-source tool for qualitative data analysis for screenshots from Windows)
