Here is another example GUI application using Python 3.1.

For this example, I used BusyBar.py, a module for creating a "busy indicator" (like the knight-rider light). To do this, I first had to port BusyBar to Python 3.1 from 2.x. The new code for this module can be found here:

One of the coolest things about EuroSTAR 2009 was the test lab set up by James Lyndsay and Bart Knaack.

James and Bart (who self-identified as Test Lab Rats) provided testers with the opportunity to have a go at two applications, FreeMind (an open-source mind-mapping program) and OpenEMR (an open-source product for tracking medical records). The Lab Rats did a splendid job of setting things up and providing the services and information that participants needed to get up and running quickly.

And now for the immodest part of the EuroSTAR 2009 Test Lab report:  I won the Best Bug award, although it's not clear to me which bug got the nod, since I reported several fairly major problems. 

I tested OpenEMR.  For me, one candidate for the most serious problem would have been a consistent pattern of inconsistency in input handling and error checking.  I observed over a dozen instances of some kind of sloppiness.
