Message: [QUOTE="Infinity77, post: 4180009"] I have been involved in the wxPython development for many years (mostly on implementation of custom widgets, in the AGW library), and I share Robin's concerns about this kind of "publicity" given to wxPython. Python comes with TK as a "battery included" UI toolkit. I'm perfectly fine with this, as I am not going to use it anyway. Whether in the future TK will be replaced by PyGTK, PyQT, PySide, etc... in the standard library, it won't make any difference to those aficionados developers who use wxPython. We'll still download the wxPython binaries/sources/whatever and use it to develop our own GUIs. There is simply no match between wxPython and X (substitute X with whatever GUI toolkit you like). This is obviously my very biased opinion. It is very unfortunate that this topic "wxPython vs. Tkinter" has drifted to another flame war, as there is really no point in this kind of discussion. As a general rule, a GUI-newbie should try all the GUI toolkits out there and settle with the one which looks easier/nicer/ more convenient/more feature rich. As usual, it is a matter of personal taste. For those experiencing with wxPython for the first time, I highly suggest you to join our wxPython mailing list: you'll find a friendly place, with many experienced developers answering questions and a BDFL who's there (almost) every day offering solutions for the toughest problems.
