Hi, I am not able to help out concerning GUI-Builders. However, it appears that the GUI-support you neeed is not getting too complex. Therefore, I would recommend to hand-code the GUI-parts using TKInter. Advantages: -It is there already. No need to install a separate GUI-Builder and lerning how to use it. Not too much thinking what needs to be installed on your user's workstation. -TKInter and TCL/TK are very stable. -TCL/TK is well documented. (Unfortunately one has to refer to the TCL/TK documentation because the TKInter documentation does not go very far.) -It is quite easy to learn. -It contains a file-browsing dialogue (resp. a wrapper around the one provided by your OS/Desktop-Environment.) You might have a start at the TKinter-Part of the library-reference. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-Tkinter.html You will have to spend some time on learning how to use TK, of course. However, I think that is a good investment rather than spending the time evaluating different GUI-Builders. The said is valid for less complex GUIs. For complex GUIs especially with huge amounts of entry-fields it is better to use a GUI-builder especially for later maintenance. Handcoded GUI-code might get nearly unreadable after it has been changed during the lifetime of a software (, and by different developers) Regards, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
