About TCLoo

TCLoo is a pure-tcl implementation of some language features inspired by the Python language.

Features include:

• Pattern-based exception handling (try/except/finally)
• Classes, including inheritance, class- and instance-methods, class- and instance-variables, constructors and destructors
• A "widget" class, intended to permit subclassing of single widgets as well as the creation of megawidgets
• A few widget classes:

  ventry

  An entry that can validate for syntax and range

  scrolledframe

  A viewport onto a frame which can be smoothly scrolled

  geogroup

  A container which can make its contents have the same height or width as the largest item in its group

Documentation

The above tarball contains documentation in the Doc/ directory and demos in the Demo/ directory.

Compatability

I have been developing tcloo against tcl8.2.1 and a CVS version of tcl8.4. It should run on any version of tcl with namespaces.
