I don't see the original bizarre rants for some reason (spam filter likely), but I have to say this is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in some time. Tkinter the downfall of python? Wow. All of the python programmers I know (we use python every day at work) would say, "what is tkinter?" It's just not relevant to any of them that I know. Google probably uses as much Python as anyone, and their programmers would probably agree. Perhaps that's an argument to remove tkinter entirely, but not really a good one. In the meantime they happily crank out code with Django, or PyQt, or PyGTK, or even Tkinter--whatever tool is appropriate for the job. > Citation needed.
