Since the OP seemed to link too close Python to Tkinter ( or at list I read it that way ) I just wanted to clarify that Tkinter is not the only choice when it comes to GUI in python. I draw the parallel because last time I worked with Java (which was some time ago ) Swing was almost the only option (with AWT being obsoleted and other bindings being non-exixtent ). Ciao ------ FB
