Comment Block Maker

AGAIN on a programming theme, my latest offering is a little gem, even if I say so myself: a Python script that lets you convert a plain text string into a neat comment block that can be placed in a script. That in itself is simple enough, but there's more.

The interface is Tkinter, and its ttk offshoot. That's where most of the effort went. It works across Python versions from 2.6 to 3.x, on Windows, Mac and Linux, no small feat!

Better still, the GUI design is a generic template, easily adapted to specific needs.

See the comment block at the top of the script for details, a layout diagram is presented there. If you've ever attempted to create a Tkinter GUI, you will recognise the value.

Finally, this is my first project hosted on GitHub. You can download Release v1.0.0 here:
