example program - FuzzyTime - clasqm - 12-29-2015
This little desktop applet will appear on my repo soon with source included. I post it here just to give people an example of yab in action. It uses a 3rd-party python script called fuzzy_time.py, which you can get from SourceForge, and wraps a minimalist GUI around it.
It took me about two to three hours to write, and I'm sure that shows in the quality of the code There are too manyglobal variables, the capitalization of variables is inconsistent ... works, though.
Code: #!/bin/env yab

Ouch! that case statement "case "MainWindow:Help:About":" should not be in there.
RE: example program - FuzzyTime - bbjimmy - 01-01-2016
I had to modify fuzzy_time.py for 12 hour instead of 24 hour time, but it works!

Yes, I did the same with the version I bundled in the repo package.
