PMFJI, But doesn't Boa Constructor do wxPython GUI building?
I've never used it and in fact only just downloaded it. I haven't 
tried using it yet but the screenshots look good ;-)

I agree, and now that Robin has a book out its much easier 
to use. One of the reasons I stuck with Tkinter for a long 
time was that I had Grayson's book and all the Tcl/Tk docs 
to fall back on. Robin's book is much better than Graysons 
IMHO and answers almost all the questions I've had when 
using wxPython.

But like Phil, I like to use the batteries included wherever 
I can. and especially in my tutorial pages. So anything 
that improves Tkinter /Tix(*) and IDLE is good by me!

(*)Although I haven't tried using tix yet, but I'm aiming to 
just as soon as I get some free cycles.
