David, I would really recommend that you seriously consider using the Tcp/Tk toolkit. Why ? Because of my point above, you'll find the tool will most likely have a greater impact and uptake than one requiring a user or developer to install a 3rd party toolkit and library just to use your gui package manager :) Trust me when I say this, the simpler you make this, the better. "Powerful" is meaningless in the context of programming - it has no meaning. If you meant wxWindows/wxWidgets are more feature-rich, then yes I agree - but at what cost ? :) My 2c, cheers James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
