Well i will admit the api is not as simplistic as Tkinter. However i noticed over time that wx had started adopting a slight Tkinter "feel" to the API and that is a good thing. So they are coming around. :) > Anyway, I wasn't meaning to be rough with you. Just trying to figure > out where you were coming from. I am acquianted with Kevin Walzer and > he is a good guy. No harm done Robert my skin is far thicker than your average grape. We just ended up on opposite sides of a passionate argument. I hope you stick around with us because I look forward to hearing more of your opinions and ideas. And i agree that Kevin is a great guy! I've never met him but i can tell from his writing style and mannerisms that he is truly an honest and virtuous soul. And i totally understand why he wants to keep Tkinter alive as he and i both have tons of code that depends on Tkinter. I wish we could keep Tkinter forever as it really is a great starter GUI. I wrote my first GUI code with it and fell in love just like with Python! However i know we will always be lacking our full potential with Tkinter as developers and as a community. Sadly i see no other way but to replace it with something more up-to-date. Sometimes we have to "take one for the team". What is in our best interest may not necessarily be in the community's best interest. If we *do* replace Tkinter, it will be a very painful adjustment because it has been with us for such a long time. However, just as Py3000 was painful at first, and then started slowly gaining speed into a much better language, i also believe this change will move us forward into an even greater language. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
