Re: [Tutor] cross platform gui

I would recommend wxPython, it seems to be cross platform. Pythoncard is an easy to use wrapper around wxPython, and for some stuff you have to revert back to wxPython code. I can't on QT, and Tkinter is getting a bit old these days (imao.) AFAIK they should all be cross-platform (query QT), so it
