There are several ways to use Scintilla in Python, the ones described at http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaRelated.html are: -through wxPython -pyscintilla is the original Python binding for Scintilla's default GTK 1.x class. Includes some additional support, such as native printing on Windows. The binding is hand-written rather than auto-generated from the Scintilla.iface file.
-pygtkscintilla is a Python binding for gtk1.x scintilla that uses gtkscintilla instead of the default GTK class. -pyscintilla2 is a Python binding for GTK 2.x scintilla that uses gtkscintilla2. I'm not using any of the libraries GTK 1.x, GTK 2.x or WxPython for GUI (always used Tkinter), but I want to use Scintilla so I wonder which way would have less overhead. First, loading of an additional library would (I think) slow down startup and operating time of program, plus there can be additional complexity of use. I also want to embed Scintilla in Tkinter-created window (create the rest of the GUI in Tkinter), or rather, I want to know if that's possible at all. Any suggestions are appreciated.
