One other thing I'm wondering: how exactly does Tkinter work? Is the whole Tk toolkit bound up as library of low-level C code, or does Tkinter sit on top of a Tcl interpreter?
If the latter, that might explain why it is frustratingly slow on Cygwin... since Cygwin is not very good at starting up new processes in a timely manner. Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
