I think I might simply have to bite the bullet, actually use some of these documented wrappers, perhaps even tweak/improve them, and then release something that shows what's possible with them. And perhaps even write up some "user-friendly" docs. :-) > >> Am I better off biting the bullet and learning wxPython--a different GUI >> paradigm to go with the new language I'm trying to learn? > > that's almost designed to get "wx rul3z d00d" replies from the wx crowd. > let's see if they bite.

I agree that this particular question is off-topic for that list. By way of clarification, one of the things I have in mind in terms of "sophisticated GUI's" can be found on these pages at the Tcl'ers wiki: http://wiki.tcl.tk/13636 This page is focused on Tcl/Tk apps using the Tile extension, but many of these apps also use extensions like Tablelist and Tktreectrl. I haven't seen any shiny screenshots of Python apps using these extensions yet. Another example, that doesn't use Tile, is PgAccess: http://www.pgaccess.org/index.php?page=NewPgAccessEnglish This app makes use of BWidgets and Tablelist, in particular, to good effect. This gives you some idea of the target I'm aiming at, anyway. -- Kevin Walzer Poetic Code http://www.kevin-walzer.com/software/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
