Okay. What else do you suggest? * PyQt/PySide requires massive Qt packages, and has licensing issues. * GTK looks bad outside of GNOME. * wxPython claims to be back to development, but it wasn’t for the past 2 years. * Kivy doesn’t even try to feel native anywhere. I think we’ve just run out of reasonable cross-platform GUI libraries for Python… You are free to use any of those four, though (or anything less cross-platform). You don’t have to use Tkinter if you don’t like it. And it’s not a hard requirement on many Linux distributions. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
