I don't buy that it's weaker. In fact, I'd say this proves that markup is distinctly better - just a little harder to do "Hello, world" in. At best, the simple GUI makes it easier to do something straight-forward, and then basically lets you drop to the more complicated form. At worst, it makes it easier to do the very simple, and nearly impossible to do the more complicated. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
