I think you are probably right. The only other sort of programming I did
before I started on python was really 'VBA' and everything was done with
GUI. I think that is what was in my mind. I have started using Tkinter
and it isn't so bad. I just like the idea of having the visual side of
actually seeing the buttons and whistles on the form ready. I have
looked at QT, GTK and wxGlade but it is all more complicated than
'visual basic' and not at all rad like. So, for now I'll stick with my
book and use Tkinter to get to grips with binding the widgets to the
event handlers.
Thank you for your advice,
Sharon

I am a newbie to python but would like to use a designer for
simplicity. Which would be the easiest to use:
WxGlade
Qt 4 Designer
Glade Interface Designer (Gtk)
These are all GUI builders so I assume you want to write GUIs?
If so which GUI toolkit are you intending to use because the GUI
builders all tend to be specific to one particular tookit, which
limits your options. Choose your toolkit and the GUI builder is chosen
for you...
At this point in time I would be looking at the simplest for a newbie
until my programming skills in Python improve. Appreciate a few
opinions on this.
The simplest toolkit or the simplest tool?
Picking the simplest tool may leave you writing code for a complex
toolkit? OPne of the simplest GUI tookits is the standard Tkinter that
comes with Python. But the tools for building GUIs for Tkinter are not
great! But toolkits like Gtk and Qt have better tools but tend to be
much more complex than Tkinter (more powerful too of course - it tends
to be the case in programming that power and complexity are closely
linked!)
Maybe you should stick to simple programming first and worry about the
GUI stuff later? Or are you already comfortable with command
line/console programs and
its only the GUI stuff that is new?
To really help we need to know more.
HTH,
