Browser interface

[willpearse]

I got the following from a reviewer:

The command-line interface, while fairly well-designed, is still a potential problem for some users. An equivalent web browser-based interface would help and should be feasible: use Python's built-in CGI server (SimpleHTTPServer) to serve pages locally, and use the webbrowser module to load 'http://localhost' when launching the program. (Note that I'm not suggesting the authors host a public web server themselves.) Assuming you intend to maintain and improve phyloGenerator, I encourage you to look into doing this for a future release.

If you have strong views about the terminal-based interface, please let me know. I'm going to try and implement this, although it may well be at the expense of the terminal-based interface (i.e., I might not keep both going).

Cheers,

Will

I am be interested in helping, I do think there are a few things that should be done first, like unit tests and documentation within the code.

Hello,

Thanks for the offer Vincent!

I completely agree with you - I've made a comment about this on another thread. I'll let you know when I've completed a basic version of the unit tests.

Cheers,

Will
