Well, Tk isn't *based* on C (it's written in C, but it doesn't wrap a lower-level GUI framework for C). Tk is my preferred toolkit. But then, I'm a Tcl developer by background, and less experienced with Python. For what it's worth, the reason I learned Tcl before Python is because I wanted to learn a GUI package that was native/specific to the programming language in question, and Tcl/Tk is the only instance of this in scripting languages. With Python, as far as I know, every GUI toolkit in question was developed for another language (Tcl, C/C++, etc.), and is wrapped by Python. It makes learning GUI programming in Python a daunting task for a newbie. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
