Hi All, Just learning Python - my first new language for about 18 years (I'm not a programmer ...). I'm writing a small utility to manipulate some text files (for the game VGA Planets, if you're interested: http:// www.phost.de). It's currently working, but it looks a bit ugly with raw_input and just basic text output.
I have plans to expand the functions of the utility, and I want a simple GUI frontend. I assumed I'd end up with something that looks a bit like the Debian installer: a curses-driven thing with simple ascii boxes and buttons. But reading a bit more about Python makes me think that support for tcl/tk is much more developed than support for curses. So my question is, should I go to the trouble of learning how to make boxes and stuff using tcl/tk, or just go with ncurses as I imagined? Which is more portable? The basic idea is that this just runs on the largest possible variety of systems (er, assuming they have Python installed, of course). I use Debian mostly, but of course it needs to run on bog-standard Windows boxes. Does that tilt the balance in favour of curses or tcl/tk? Or should I just stick with ugly text? Thanks for all your help, CC (noob) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
