Thanks in advance! Wow...are you *trying* to start a flamewar? :) Anyway, here are a few points to think about. This is by no means exhaustive, and I'm sure others will add to (and/or correct) what I say. I'm most familiar with Qt, so my comments will be directed that way. Qt4 *is* GPL, but you can only use it for free if the software you're writing is GPL. So, if there is no issue with you making your source code public, there is no problem using Qt. wxWindows is essentially LGPL, so might be easier to use, depending on how closely you need to hold your source code. wxWindows uses Gtk widgets on *nix. In *my opinion* the Qt widgets look better, but that's just me. From what I've seen of the PyQt4 API, it's very clean and easy to use. You can design your forms using the standard QtDesigner and compile them to Python by using py-uic. You can also load .ui files at run time if you want. I have no idea of the form design facilities in wxWindows, others can add their input there. It's very easy to create forms with QtDesigner. And also easy to make sure they still nicely laid out and proportionate by using layouts and spacers. Anyway, those are the thoughts off the top of my head, I'll chime in again if I think of more. j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks in advance! I've always found tkinter to be adequate so far. The widgets look a little bit crude compared with other toolkits, and there's less fancy functionality, but it's fairly easy to program and it's included with Python. For internal use where you don't need a lot of visual slickness to sell the product, it may be ok. Another possibility is embed a web server in your application and use a browser interface for your gui. That makes it easy to run the application on a separate machine from the user, among other things, even if you don't try to support multiple simultaneous users like a real web server normally would have to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
