Developing Ubuntu Applications with Quickly : My Quicklier Project part 2

Hi guys,

This is part 2 of my tutorial series about Python and my project Quicklier.

In this tutorial we learn how to run terminal commands from python and since we're doing a front end for Quickly we will run Quickly commands from python.

For this we will be using the Popen function from the "subprocess" module.

Develop Ubuntu Applications With Quickly

Quickly has been around for a while now and since Canonical just launched the Ubuntu Developer site i thought i'd give it a try and it also is a reason for me to learn Python.

My first project will be to create a small GUI for Quickly and publish it in the Ubuntu Software Center to make it available for people who don't like to type in the terminal every time they want Quickly to do something.

Canonical does have an "admittance" policy in place meaning they will review each app that gets submitted and only if it gets approved it will be published in the software center. I'm curious if my little project will make it there :)

If you also are looking to get into ubuntu applications development using Quickly you can get Quickly from the repositories.
