I wrote a pygtk application that displays ascii letters and spaces arranged as 70 columns by 20 rows. Each letter and its background color represents a potential appointment spot in a doctor's office. The user can click on any of the letters to either make or view an appointment. This is working, but is too slow. It takes about a second to redraw the letters, even when using pyrex or psyco.

I implemented this by using an EventBox() for each letter (to catch the clicks) and then added a label to each EventBox() to display the letter with its background color. I'm considering using a TextView() instead to display the letters and managing the letters with pango.

Is this likely to be faster, or is there some other way of implementing this that would be faster?

Thanks for any assistance.

Gary
