["/ReSTedit"
] is a GUI tool for editing and interactivly exploring texts in the /ReStructuredText format (or ReST) as introduced by the Docutils project. Despite being very simple ReSTedit is very useful for quickly checking if Docutils renders some text as you would expect it. You only paste it into a ReSTedit window to see if it's ok or not, without writing any test code around it. See a sample movie.

!FontLab - http://www.fontlab.com/ [[BR]]
[[BR]]
"The World's Most Powerful Font Editor - A full featured digital typeface editor". The Python macro language is a really powerful tool that can save you loads of time in performing tedious tasks. Need to add a bevel to all the characters in your font? A Python macro can do it in a flash. Want to rename all your fonts to add your foundry intials? Do the whole library in seconds with a macro. Got an idea for a new /FontLab tool? Write it in Python and add it to the /FontLab menus. [[BR]]
[[BR]]
Note: In order to use FontLab's Python support in Mac OS X, you must use a CFM version of Python. /FontLab has not been compiled as a Mach-O binary for OS X and is therefore not compatible with the normal OS X version of Python. The version of Python you must install for /FontLab interoperability is called ["
/MacPython-OS9"]. Don't worry, it does run natively on OS X. To download: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html - the installer will be named something like: MacPython2.3full.bin. With the release of Python 2.3, MacPython was split two ways: MacPython-OSX (commonly referred to as just MacPython) and MacPython-OS9. MacPython-OS9 is a fully Carbonized CFM application that is compatible with CFM applications on both OS 9 (All OS 9 applications are CFM) and OS X (OS X supports both CFM and Mach-O). MacPython-OSX is a Mach-O application exclusively for OS X.

Author: JustVanRossum

DrawBot is a simple application for MacOSX that allows you to write simple Python scripts that generate two-dimensional graphics. The builtin graphics primitives are currently pretty braindead, it currently only supports rectangles, ovals and (bezier) paths and polygons. A future version will also support text and images. Note that /DrawBot can export PDF to files and clipboard, so you can bring your /DrawBot creations right into applications such as Adobe® Illustrator® as vectors!

You can edit an input text as well as a regular expression as well as colors for matched text, etc. and study various effects at every keystroke. This is a much more convenient way of hunting down the one expression you're after, without typing any code at all in the usual trial-and-error method.

The result is a new way to focus on your data, and a new way to manage large collections of video and audio files and clips. Transana is written with wxPython and developed by David Woods.
