It depends. Are you selling your application commercially/closed-source or is it freeware/open-source? Are you deploying on several platforms, or just one? Here are a few things to consider: 1. Tkinter is simple to code and easy to deploy. It's a bit bare-bones without additional packages. 2. wxPython is big, harder to learn than Tkinter, but looks good on Mac, Windows, and *Nix. It will require users to install a lot of extra stuff (or you'll have to bundle the extra stuff). 3. PyQt is also nice, and works well on Mac/Windows/*Nix but the free version requires your app to be released under the GPL. That may or may not be an issue for you. PyQt is also a large package to install. 4. PyGTK is popular on*Nix and works OK on Windows. But it doesn't run natively on the Mac. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
