Well I'm still experimenting both with pygtk as well as with wxpython.
The following question I have about programming with a gui toolkit however is independant of the toolkit used, so I put it to both lists.
The next thing I would like to try is a program like life, mine sweeper, or griddler (aka nonogramm or paint by number). Basically this kind of program requires a table all with similar data. However this table could become quite large so I am a bit hesistant in implementing this as a gtk_table/GridSizer, filled with thousands of widgets.
Avoiding the use of thousands of widgets is always a good thing. They each have lots of overhead that you definitly don't need in this case.
An alternative would be to have just one widget in which I draw al elements as they should be, but this would be a little harder to code.
There is a good example of this approach in one of the wxWindows C++ demos. It easily deals with hundreds of thousands of cells. See http://cvs.wxwindows.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWindows/demos/life/
