2008-06-23 Thread Alex Bryan
I had a guy on this mailing list tell me that pyQT is much better than Tkinter, and after looking into it a bit I think he is right. However, I can't find much on it. I want to know if there are any good books or online tutorials that would be helpful. I doubt there is one, but if there is
