#! /usr/bin/env python

# A Python program implementing rmt, an application for remotely
# controlling other Tk applications.
# Cf. Ousterhout, Tcl and the Tk Toolkit, Figs. 27.5-8, pp. 273-276.

# Note that because of forward references in the original, we
# sometimes delay bindings until after the corresponding procedure is
# defined.  We also introduce names for some unnamed code blocks in
# the original because of restrictions on lambda forms in Python.

# XXX This should be written in a more Python-like style!!!

# 1. Create basic application structure: menu bar on top of
# text widget, scrollbar on right.

root = Tk()
tk = root.tk
mBar = Frame(root, relief=RAISED, borderwidth=2)
mBar.pack(fill=X)

f = Frame(root)

t.tag_config('bold', font='-Adobe-Courier-Bold-R-Normal-*-120-*') 
s['command'] = t.yview

root.title('Tk Remote Controller')

# 2. Create menu button and menus.

# 3. Create bindings for text widget to allow commands to be
# entered and information to be selected.  New characters
# can only be added at the end of the text (can't ever move
# insertion point).

# 5. Procedure that's invoked when return is typed:  if
# there's not yet a complete command (e.g. braces are open)
# then do nothing.  Otherwise, execute command (locally or
# remotely), output the result or error message, and issue
# a new prompt.

# 6. Procedure to select a new application.  Also changes
# the prompt on the current command line to reflect the new
# name.
