Python is just the language. It's probably more akin to C than to a
development environment like VB or VFP. GUIs are more like add-ons
rather than a fundamental part of Python itself. That's one of the
reasons that you can have several GUI choices, like wxPython, Tkinter,
and Qt - they aren't part of the language itself.

It would definitely be smart to get a handle on Python before you
start trying to create applications in Dabo. It would be like creating
VB apps without knowing Basic: you can get something that looks OK
pretty quickly, but if you want it to do anything useful, you have to
write some code, and that means learning the language.
