Python3/GTK3 Progress:
The d-rats client program in my python3_tyw branch of seems to mostly work on both python3 and python2 now.
The map display is not working.
I made that change and announced it a while back, but have not seen any feedback.
I am now testing it using the msys2.org mingw64 packages of python in addition to anti-x linux. mysys2.org has fixed the broken package that was preventing some windows packages from working.
Because I am using the mingw64 packages of python, the shebang launching of d-rats does not work.
My next change to my frok will probably to start disabling python2 support.
The main reason for that is that I have been refactoring the map routines into their own directory, and if I nest it under the d_rats directory, I can not get the module resolution to work with python2.
I have been documenting the refactoring / port of the Map Display with at
It is now functional for displaying the map for any coordinates that I put in.
I have not yet connected that refactoring back to the d-rats client program. I am still testing it standalone.
I want to be able to test plotting stations on the map before I merge it back in.
Hopefully my wiki articles can help get other programmers as this is a very complex program.
And again, I am still learning both d-rats internals and GTK programming.
