No, it's a big pain. I'm a big boy and gave up on trying to install wxpython for bittorrent on FC3 (the problem was with wxwidgets needing an obsolete version of gtk, not with wxpython itself). There's just no compelling reason to want to deal with this stuff. Tkinter has its warts but it allows making functional gui's without all that much fuss. If it were replaced in the default distro then I'd say use whatever the new default is, but as it is, it's best to not impose unnecessary extra headache on users. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
