I worry that Python has been adding too many complex features too quickly.

I think I last tried it back before I had even encountered Python, but back then I didn't really have a need for it. Maybe I should revisit it. I would want at least some equivalent for numpy and a gui system like Qt. I gather that wxWindows is a possibility among others. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
