Lacks for bethon

1

I’m using Bethon to write some applications for Haiku and now i was learning something about Replicants…
The delusion came when i saw that in Bethon 0.5.4 there are no BDragger and no BShelf modules
so i find hard to write Replicant applications…
My C++ knowledge is not enough strong to do this work, so is there someone interested importing that important classes to bethon? it would be a boost in python development under haiku

I think the general Python to Haiku mapping is happening here?

So, it’s a rewrite of Bethon as I can see, why not expand Bethon instead? the work is almost done or i’m missing something?

I have actually never had occasion to use replicants and maybe someone with more expertise could straighten me out on this, but I believe the principle issue here is archiving - a replicant view arrives as an archive BMessage, and that’s one thing that may not be possible for derived classes in the Python interpreter. Because you will not be able to archive the state of the interpreter.

I’m happy to talk about Bethon here, but as it comes up rather rarely I don’t follow this forum closely, so don’t be bashful about sending me email if it’s something urgent.
