Well, choice is a great thing!
Except when you're new and all that choice seems overwhelming :)
When I started out python a year ago, I knew just enough C to know that
I didn't want C/C++ to be my first language that I learned.
That's why I found the wxPython style a nuisance, because I was at the
same time trying to learn the python way of doing things.
I do see the merits you say in how wxPython does things, it just didn't
work out then.
In the end, I never did any GUI work because of the overwhelming choice
and instead did a little pygame stuff and then got into django, mostlly
because my local community did.
So, db-centric seems good to me right now and will definately check dabo
out, although to be honest, a webkit application on top of django sounds
as good.
Anyways, I'm drifting all this while away from the purpose of this list.
Thank you so much for the answers, you're such a helpful bunch.

Really good news is that on this very list on another thread, someone
suggested Dabo http://dabodev.com/
It's a python library on top of wxPython and it's database-logic-GUI
But its not a complete wrapper for wxPython so you still need
to revert to wxPython at some stages. Also its being database
centric is great if thats what you are doing, not so great for games
programming etc.
But the tight coupling of wxPython to its C++ roots can be seen
as a bonus because it means you can quickly use its Ruby and
Perl incarnations too - and if you need to the base C++.
This is one of the reasons I mainly use Tkinter - because I already
knew the underlying Tk and I can use those same skills in Lisp
and Ruby and Perl UI code.
You pays your money and makes your choice! :-)
