But if you are building an actual application, I'm not sure that the extra ten lines of startup code matters at all. And if those ten lines are essentially boilerplate that you can copy and paste from somewhere (Or have a gui-builder write for you), then even less so. That's not to say that the GUI toolkit slike wxPython, PySide, pyGTK aren't a bit more complex than they need to be, but much of that complex is there to support complex needs. I do think there is a place for tools that make "the easy stuff easy", but make sure that the complex stuff is still possible. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected]
