Terry, thanks for helping put this more clearly. > I currently agree with 1, 2a, maybe 2b, 3 to the extent I know the > difference (but would like to see specific examples), and am neutral to 4 > due to ignorance.

I'm fairly enthusiastic about PyGUI for this purpose, but I'll happily throw it out in favor of a better candidate. The goal is to get a good standard GUI system included with Python. > One thing I do know about wxWidgets is that it includes a library of utility > functions that are not directly gui functions and that duplicate functions > already in Python.

I see wxPython and the others as potential implementation platforms for PyGUI, rather than as competitors. We might have bindings for PyGUI for each of them.
