Hi Tim, I would like to use Python and C and wxWidgets for my EDA CAD program. I want to put most of the program core in an Python extension and GUI in wxWidgets. I do need to get publishing quality vector graphics outputs from this program so one of my concerns is if the wxWidgets will work for this or will I have to use something like openGL or Cairo. Did your work for Mentor include a high quality graphics output? Thanks, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
