Information about the package, python-envisage, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The python-envisage package is designed for, Extensible application framework.


Package Name:

python-envisage

Summary:

Extensible application framework

Description:

Envisage is a Python-based framework for building extensible applications, that is, applications whose functionality can be extended by adding "plug-ins". Envisage provides a standard mechanism for features to be added to an application, whether by the original developer or by someone else. In fact, when you build an application using Envisage, the entire application consists primarily of plug-ins. In this respect, it is similar to the Eclipse and Netbeans frameworks for Java applications. Each plug-in is able to: * Advertise where and how it can be extended (its "extension points"). * Contribute extensions to the extension points offered by other plug-ins. * Create and share the objects that perform the real work of the application ("services"). The Envisage project provides the basic machinery of the plug-in framework as well as GUI building tools (envisage.ui). The workbench is the older way to build GUIs from Envisage. It is now recommended to use the Task framework.
