For me, the killer feature missing from of all of the wx-based designers is that they require sizer based designs at all stages, not even permitting a fixed layout up front as a first draft. Either that or any case I've found permitting a fixed layout, then didn't permit turning that easily into a sizer-based layout. >From an overall design perspective, that was the feature I found most intriguing in QTDesigner. I could randomly drop stuff around the window while doing an initial layout, which is especially helpful when you aren't quite sure yet how you want the layout to look. Then you can select groups of objects and apply the containers to provide for flexible layout. I absolutely prefer sizer-based layouts for a final implementation, but early in the design stages find it more helpful, and freeing, not to be as tied to the containers. With that said, for various reasons I still prefer wxPython to Qt, and at the moment, find wxFormBuilder the best fit for my own designs (even before the direct Python support, just using XRC). -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
