Not quite, there are non Event Driven GuUIs - in fact the Python easyGUI is not Event Driven - but most are. Thats why I cover event driven programming as a sepsaate precursor to GUII porogramming in my tutorial. >> > I own a lot of computer books, and I've found Learning Python (an >> > O'Reilly Book) and wxPython in Action to be my two most useful >> > ones. I agree with most of the comments in this thread - I've been away for a few days - however I still prefer Tkinter and find it both conceptually easier and more concise in coding terms than wxPython. With the addition of Tix to the standard library there is less to choose between them in widget coverage, although wxPython definitely still has an edge. As to Tkinter documentation, there is a llarge number of books on Tk and it is fairly easy to translate from Tk speak to Tkinter. There are fewer books on wxWidgets. However the new wxPython book covers most of the ground pretty well. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
