PyWM is in a prototype state, but it's
working well enough to offer for download and review.
Be warned that if your scripting has errors, it can take the X server
down with it, killing off your apps and causing possible loss of data.
There may also be bugs in the FLWM core, or in the PyWM code, which
cause stability problems as well.
So if you want to play around with PyWM, please observe the following:
- While working on your scripts, write your ~/.xinitrc file to
launch xterm (or your favourite console window). Then, launch your PyWM
script from within a virtual console. That way, if your script crashes (and
doesn't take down X), you can fix it and re-launch it
- Never, NEVER have any applications open with important data while
you're working on your PyWM scripts. Don't trust your script until
you've tested it thoroughly.
- When running other applications within your PyWM environment, be
sure to save your data often.
- If you see any really weird and unexplainable things happening on
your desktop, or apps refusing to run, try restarting the X server. If
this doesn't work, try rebooting.
