did you use a socket to communicate from Pharo to Python?

�� it does not sound like it�� it sounds more one way

�� i am interested in using sockets to communicate between programs

�� but i haven't done much with it yet

�� maybe you can include sockets in your generated Python to talk

�� back to Pharo ?

�� i got Dolphin Smalltalk to talk to Pharo using a socket

�� but i kind of forgot about it

did you look at Roassal ? Roassal does a lot of plotting they look very nice

�� they have mouse interactions and lots of cool stuff

�� but i don't know how they relate to other plotting programs

�� i imagine that Roassal tries to do things not done in other programs

�� but i don't really know�� i looked at some other plotting thing also

�� can't remember Sci something

�� Roassal has a nice declarative style that is nice

�� i want to use it a lot in future

�� i use Roassal in the Moose Pharo image because it is pre installed

i have a rich text tree editing program in Dolphin Smalltalk

�� that i use like a note taking program like everNote but as a great big tree

�� using the old Windows tree widget in Dolphin 6 which i like

�� and i store a lot of my text stuff in there

�� and i would like to store and edit Racket programs or lisp programs

�� in there in a tree format

�� and your project sounds interesting

�� about how to maybe generate Racket code that will allow

�� me to use Dolphin and Pharo and other Smalltalks as a front end to��

�� Racket or commonLisp etc

�� because i don't like the GUIs or IDEs of those things

�� ( they're so primative )( but i don't know them well )( they just look

�� brittle )( and C like )

�� and i believe there is a command line interface in Pharo so you can

�� execute external programs like generated scripts

I ***LOVE IT***
Last year I took as decision, release all the books that I had half
finished :) and I ended up creating the booklets
to flush my hardisc.
