I have just released Parrot version 0.2.6.

Parrot is a text-based GUI builder. It is intended to be used 
by programmers writing GUI applications. Parrot is written in 
Python. 

To use Parrot, you write a text file descriping your 
application's GUI. Then you invoke the Parrot program, which
reads your file and produces output code implementing the GUI.
At the moment, Parrot can produce two sorts of output:

* HTML containing the GUI
* a Python program which when run will implement the GUI
  using Python's Tkinter interface to Tk.
 
The current release contains modifications contributed by
Ludger Humbert (<humbert at ls12.cs.uni-dortmund.de>) to
get radio buttons working correctly.
 
Parrot is currently pre-alpha code, so don't expect to 
do much useful work with it yet. 
 
Parrot is available from:
   http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/parrot/intro.html
   
Parrot is licenced under the GNU GPL.
