Long ago I did some Java programming and tried out Swing. I think the complaints about it are that it's a very large toolkit that requires a lot of inheritance to use. However, the underlying premise used by the layout managers seemed sound: 1. Choose a layout manager. 2. Put one or more containers in it. 3. Fill the containers with widgets (or other containers), letting them decide how to lay out the widgets. That aspect, I liked. Seems a lot like nested elements in an html page. Perhaps this was what Guido was alluding to? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
