The "best" one is the one that makes sense to you -- the one you can maintain in the future. The overhead of running Python (as opposed to C++) is going to swamp any difference in performance between various techniques of handling the message loop. That's true of user interfaces in general; the typical user interface application spends 99.9% of its time waiting for the next message. I'm a Python advocate, but if you need to squeeze every microsecond out of your drawing code, then you probably shouldn't be writing it in Python. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
