Turbo Sleuth, circa 10-8-2021

Turbo Sleuth is a work in progress. The idea is to write a replacement for the Crystal Sleuth program written in Python rather than Fortran 90. This will allow the program to be portable and maintainable.

These pages are a chronological "blog" as I work my way along on this project. They may well be mostly of interest to me as a way and place to keep my notes and collect my thoughts as I work on the project

Project Overview and Goals
Why use Python
Fortran 90 notes (executive course)
Reference library (RRUF files)
A simple graphics demo with python and matplotlib
A simple GUI demo with python and tkinter
A more complex GUI demo with tkinter and matplotlib
What about sqlite3 and python?
What about specutils and python?

Turbo Sleuth, resumed 4-3-2023

I am not sure that this will actually be called "turbo sleuth", but for now that name is as good as any.

Ideas from various sources
Resuming work
Getting "wx" for windows
