I don't care about that -- I don't use the built-in widgets anyway.  I
use Java for UI largely because (1) widgets built from Swing will run in
applets as well as in apps, and (2) because the graphics model is
cairo-rich.  The last time I looked at wxWindows, it didn't satisfy
either of these criteria.  Perhaps for a future project.

See http://www.parc.com/janssen/pubs/TR-05-3.pdf for more than you
want to know about my application.

I don't care.  That's a rare enough occurrence, and understood by
users to be a big enough occurrence, that no one blinks an eye if I
tell them to re-install if they do that.

Yes, I agree, that's a good idea.  I'd probably still rely on the
system Python for my particular application, because it don't need the
latest and greatest version of Python, but I suppose there are
applications that might.
