If you already have a tk version, then tkinter will be a whole lot more familiar with you. The question is, why do you want to reimplement this thing in Python? If the plan is to get rid of some perl and tk bugs, then it would be good to check if the bugs exist in tkinter + python as well. One of the strengths of wxPython was supposed to be that the signatures of things was very like what windows developers were already used to when writing windows code. Since I never had a windows machine to develop code on, I wasn't one of the people who was already used to things like this, so that was no benefit to me. I tried it for a bit and discovered I liked PyQT better, so I learned that instead. But I don't think that this means that one is better than the other, so much as 'try them for a bit and see what you like'. Tk works with Python 3. wxPython doesn't yet. So if your porting is being done 'because I want to learn Python' then it is probably Python 3 you want to learn, so that's a strong reason to use tkinter. Also, if you need your app to work with MacOS, be warned that you will need an older version of tk than the most recent one. This information is current: https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ Don't use 8.6 I'd also recommend kivy, which has the added advantage that if somebody wants to use your app from a cellphone or a tablet, it will just work. see: http://kivy.org/#home Laura -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
