This project contains couchdbgui.py , a cross-platform wxpython ( GUI ) program that uses couchdb ( svn trunk ) as a blog post storage engine. Have been tested in Windows XP and Vista, Mac OS X Panther, Tiger and Leopard. I have not tested it yet in X11 nix systems.

Dependencies are:

• wxpython 2.8.9.1 or +
  
• python 2.6 or +
  
• couchdb-python python module ( from svn trunk )
  
• couchdb .9x ( from svn trunk )

The couchdb engine may run in another machine.

Purpose

Store and retrieve data in a couchdb engine.
The data is about a blog. It can show and store blog posts and comments.
Can generate screenshots to be attached to blog posts. Can be attached as a single screenshot or as a series.

License

Free as in free beer , gratis. I just want to promote couchdb and wxpython usage.
If you find this program useful spread the news.

Thanks to..

  TODO :

  Enhance the content and comment text with formatting options.

  Use python multiprocessing module to take the screenshots in an independent OS process ( yes you can do that in python 2.6 )

  Include a Turbogears 2, Pylons or Nevow equivalent web app.
