Is it good practice to do something like:
try:
f1 = file('file1')
f2 = file('file2')
except:
# catch the exception
Or do you do a try/except for each open?

Wouldn't portability go with Tkinter since that is installed with every

Robert

Maybe because Tkinter comes *with* Python? It is sometimes easier to
understand the way things work in Tkinter vs wxPython as well. Though I
will add that Manning has just published "wxPython in Action" so that
should help newbies out as well.

Wow you are so wrong about Tk on OSX. Soon this is just not going to be
the case at all for any of the system Tcl/Tk runs on. The Tcl folks
have come out with a package called "Tile" that is going to be rolled
in. It gives you native L&F on OSX, Windows, Linux.

I disagree...I don't think the whitespace rule will ever be "optional".
Why would it be so? If someone doesn't like it...choose another

Why does there need to be OO "in the core"? That is one thing I have
never understood. If you want OO, get a package that fits your style of
OO and "package require" you are off and running. That probably isn't
what you would be looking at Tcl for anyway.
