Right, Python has it's own versions of a lot of the "extra" stuff provided by a framework like Qt. >> 2) PySDL or PyGame. I'm not really sure what the differences >> are between those two.

I think we're definitely going to try to evaluate Qtopia on our platform to see if it's any quicker and smaller than wxWidgets/GTK+/X11. I guess that evaluation doesn't need to use Python -- in theory we sould be able to compare performance of "equivalent" C/C++ apps running on wxWidgets/GTK+/X11 and on QTopia. -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
