Gravatar "Bruce" is named for the Monty Python Philosopher's Sketch, with the group of Aussie philisophers called "Bruce". In current-SVN of Bruce (the main codebase) there's a driver script called 'socrates' that I wrote. Socrates and Kant were both philosophers mentioned in the Philiosopher's Song in the sketch.

As far as presentation software, IronKant is pretty rough - you're probably better off using Bruce itself, which is based on CPython+Pygame. It's a fair bit more featureful.

I'll look at merging the changes you had to make into the main codebase. Note that you don't have to change the fonts in the code - you can do it with a !CONFIG directive in the presentation itself.

the idea of spawnpage is that it can trigger _any_ external command, not just python scripts, so the cmd /c is probably a better option.


Gravatar that's the current-SVN of Bruce, btw. I've added a lot to it in the last week or so.


Gravatar Except my presentation is for IronPython - so Bruce doesn't work... but IronKant does.

'cmd /c' is cool, except I would need to name ironpython scripts with a '.ipy' extension, associate them with 'ipy.exe' and add '.ipy' to the PATHEXT environment variable. You gott a love windows.

Oh, and thanks for explaining the Kant reference.
