I agree with your point..
The problem is that Tcl/TK is a functionaly
handicapped and results in a less powerful GUI.
In an installer, it is not so hard to install
the wxWidgets dll (under windows)
But later, I won't mind redoing it in tk if
it becomes too much of a hassle.
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 :)
Well, isn't tkinter being removed?
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/)
So the user will have to install it anyways, I think wx is way better
that tkinter
from a user and a developer's perspective. I think it's time to let it
go....but hey,
that's just my two cents...

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
