Is there anything like Zenity built into iPython?

If not, what would be the best way to approach creating Zenity-like shell scripts with iPython?

Or should I just use regular Python and make a small GUI application (e.g., with PyQt)?

I'm trying to keep it really simple and convert an existing bash shell script into something Python-based (as a learning exercise).

I'm running Linux (and I don't need to be concerned with other platforms).

  • I don't understand the relevance of IPython here, can you clarify why it would be IPython-specific, rather than just Python? – minrk Jun 01 '12 at 00:10
  • Some of the iPython clients/consoles are really nice (notebooks and QtConsole). If those extended features had something that would meet my needs, I would just use that (even if it wasn't part of Python). – MountainX Jun 01 '12 at 02:41
  • Ah, okay. Then the answer to your question is No, IPython does not provide any such tools. – minrk Jun 01 '12 at 04:05
  • @minrk - good point. But I suppose I could change my approach a little and use an iPython notebook instead of a Zenity-like toolkit. (I haven't experimented with notebooks much yet.) – MountainX Jun 01 '12 at 07:42

Yes, there is, and It's called PyZenity. Additional Info Available Here.
