DLibrary - a Python library to create plugins faster and with more ease!

[Dieter @ DWorks 16]

Hi,

for those interested, DLibrary is an open-source Python library to create VW plugins. I have moved the repo to github (still have to transfer the issues), as it has better collaboration support and a far better wiki system. https://github.com/dietergeerts/dlibrary. The main benefits of the library is that you can program OOP, plugin setup is a breeze, so are custom dialogs. Not all is already in there, but everyone is welcome to contribute.

Just wanted to post this so that more people know of it's existence, and that it's still alive (and kicking).

@Dieter @ DWorks Hi, I am new to Python, I am updating some old VS scripts to python, for Vectorworks 2019. Your Library looks great, but is it still being maintained? Can I expect it to work with Vectorworks 2019?

 

[Dieter @ DWorks 16]

Hi, I don't maintain it anymore because of medical reasons, but VW doesn't change that fast, and thus it should still work. If there are things not working, it will be somewhere on the developer guide on how to upgrade for the newer version. It's open source, so everyone can contribute to the code.

OK - thanks - I'll give it a try.
