I've had a good experience with Pygtk. I made a small app called "Protein Think" that monitors a [EMAIL PROTECTED] client. The front end is extremely simple - basically a notebook with five small pages. It runs well and was a breeze to create. Looks much better than Tkinter, if that matters at all

makes me wonder how useable pygui is now... I made the mistake of using wxpython a while back... having something that runs perfectly in windows, and *sorta* works in other platforms hardly counts as cross platform, imho. And they wonder why tkinter is shipped with python while wxpython is not...

Not from here. A highly unscientific measurement, using execution time from SciTe on my 3.5 yr old box. Python startup - 0.272 sec With your snippet for Tk - 0.402 sec 0.13 sec is trivial in my book. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
