Welcome to the Dabo Wiki!

The site has been hit repeatedly by spammers, who have deleted the real content and inserted their crap. I've changed the permissions for the Wiki so that now only authorized users may edit pages. That didn't seem to do enough, as they DDoS'd the site with bots trying to create accounts. So I've disabled account creation through the web. If you'd like an account, please send an email to the dabo-users list asking for an account, and I'll create it manually.

First off...

Dabo for Python 2 is in maintenance mode. Nobody has available time to continue to enhance it

Dabo for Python 3 is in experimental mode. There is a branch in the Git repo (https://github.com/dabodev/dabo/tree/dabo3) that has code that is compatible with Python 3. However, there are still some severe issues getting it to work with the version of wxPython that supports Python 3. If you'd like to work on this, please do! It is a low priority, as none of the Dabo developers have time to work on it.

Finally, most of the wiki containing useful information was lost to bitrot. But thanks to the Internet Archive, the original wiki is still available here:

Dabo Features

  • Dabo supports Localization
  • Dabo now has a local cursor engine! The new DataSet objects allow developers to manipulate the data returned by a backend database by running any standard SQL statement against the DataSet.
  • Dabo supports basic DrawObjects in its UI. This allows you to draw shapes (circles, rectangles, polygons, lines) on any UI surface.
