Nor am I entranced by wxPython, but my application needs to run
both on a
portable platform and Windows.
So does mine - Polymer has been running on Windows for quite a while,
as well as on Linux. However, for Telomer, my primary consideration
was getting the interface "right" for a handheld, keyboardless
device, and overall, I think I've probably done more "new" code than
"porting".
Had wxPython existed, I might well have used that, but I suspect that
the resultant UI would be (even) worse than it is now.
I'm absolutely not saying "Do Not Use wxPython!", but I am saying to
give the pyGTK option serious consideration - depending on how
distinct the handheld and Windows UI will end up.
Dave.
