Hi Gary, I'm a big fan of wxPython, i.e. wxWidgets for python. Way cool and works on Windows as well (very cross-platform). Everyone's got their favorite. I like gtk, which has exactly the same features you claim (works on same platforms) but really, the one that's best integrated is the Tkinter, which was the first one that came with Python, and runs on everything bigger than a cellphone. It's not my favorite myself, but if we're going to be really honest, it's really probably the best one to recommend to folks.

python and Guile-gtk... [a bit OT]
Guys,
Thanks to the bunch of you who steered me toward python; it's
a really nice OO scripting language, and I'm picking it up
pretty rapidly. Apppended is a Tkinteri [GUI] file that python
doesn't like. Any ideas why? I did install this port.
I'd like help getting python to read from a file and display a
steram of text on a textcanvas. I'll fiure out the buttons later.
I'd appreciate any insights about regular gtk and guile-gtk. Or
whichever GUI libraries have the best python interface.
thanks muchly,
gary
Apended simpleTextArea.py
