Tobu is a freeform information organizer. It can be used to organize
notes, todo lists, files, clips, code snips, diary entries and more or less
any type of intformation that can be entered as text or stored in a file.
Tobu works in both Linux and Windows.
Windows Binary Installer for v0.5.2
For Win2000 you need this file: gdiplus.dll (Requires IE to download).

Tobu needs three packages (you can usually get them in your distribution's package manager):
Tobu was tested with Python 2.4, wxpython 2.8, pysqlite2. It probably works with other versions, please let me know if it does not.
NOTE: Last version is untested on linux because I don't have it installed at the moment, please report if it does not work.
Please note that Tobu looks a bit ugly under linux right now. I will try to fix that in future releases.
Also note that 'Open' button in Linux only works for url shortcuts, not for filenames, because the standard python function startfile() is only available in Windows.
To use Tobu, unarchive the file and double-click tobu.pyw.
