It appears to have recompiled a lot of stuff, and probably some libraries. IDLE is still with me as the way to open py files.

This is normal and is a speed improvement. In fact, a lot of the scripts you write will create a pyc file when first run. In other words, wxPython does not affect your Python install in any way other than making itself available as a 3rd party package (i.e. adding itself to the path), just like any other good 3rd party package.

Well, there's a subtle point that gives me an opportunity to point out a lesser-known feature of the NT-based systems (XP, Vista, etc). The core Win32 APIs on the NT-based systems are all Unicode. When you call an ANSI API, the system converts all of your ANSI strings to Unicode, then calls the Unicode API, then converts any output strings back to ANSI. So, there is, actually, a (small) performance advantage in using the Unicode APIs instead of the ANSI APIs. Unless you need your wx programs to run on Windows 98, I recommend you use the Unicode version of wxPython. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
