Hello folks, I’ve been on vacation in Sweden, Abisko, to chase this last year’s chances to see the famous Aurora, and luckily the mission was fulfilled!
Before that, I finally managed to pull together all the latest work and rewrites to allow Python-to-Python foreign interpreter communication, as explained and demoed in our latest community call.
Since I’ve been back, I’ve done a couple of reviews but, most importantly, hopefully tackled the last bits and bobs that were failing on Toga/Positron.
The project is currently called microdriver and while it’s in its earliest stages, once the basic bricks are tested and working together, we will consider it a success in terms of potential and the fact that it’s actually possible to have a distributed native Python app that uses Python to also drive the web page, detaching your favorite framework or library of choice from the logic, yet allowing you to do C-Python things from the real C-Python world and visualize, analyze, answer, and build from there, with direct and non-blocking DOM access.
We’re soon going to plan for the next quarter and this is all I have to share, yet I am incredibly happy with the results and actual demos working … it’s been a wild, previously unexplored idea that is becoming more concrete than ever 👋
