Now going back on topic: A think that neighter Tk nor wxWindow is a good choice for python. They both suck much of it when it came to abstraction. They're still better than glade or gtk. But could improve a lot. wxWindow has simple an ugly API, and Tk has a huge sin in the syntax to pass actions to the buttons.
I agree with that assessment, although I preferred wxPython over Tk. One of the fundamental design goals of the Dabo framework is to wrap the UI toolkits to hide all that ugliness, and present a uniform, simple API for all the UI controls. We are using wxPython initially as our UI toolkit of choice, but the long-term plan is to wrap Tk, too, so that the interface to both is the same. IOW, the same app code will work with wxPython or Tk. That's a lofty goal, but one that I think is essential to bring Python UI development up to level available to other languages.
