Hi Marcin, I did look into wxPython (Phoenix). It's not clear how well supported it is, since it seems like only one person is working on it. But there have been more recent updates on GitHub (https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix), so it's something I'm watching. For the new GUI, a web app seemed too much of a jump currently. I do plan on more strictly following the Model-View-Controller design pattern so that we can potentially reuse code (e.g. for translating information from cctbx data structures for the View) if we move towards a web app. -- Billy K.

Out of curiosity: have you considered migrating to wxPython4 (Phoenix) instead?

BTW, we are just observing here CCP-EM project migrating GUI away from PyQt. To web technologies.

Just to add to this, I recently stumbled across Aaron's "cctbx dependencies" google doc. Might be worth revisiting? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13kCFntbip4_8frMgB8sEKHN5M_hBguISI9J2...

I would also like to introduce a more standard template for programs so that the non-science stuff is more consistent among all programs. For example, file I/O (with more automatic handling of compressed files) can be isolated at the beginning with proper sanity checks on the data. Command-line flags, like an option for showing citations for the algorithms in the program, can also be more standardized. The standard program template will also help in migrating the GUI away from wxPython. The replacement package for the GUI will most likely be PyQt5. To help track progress and keep everyone up to date, we can use the "Projects" feature on GitHub. -- Billy K.
