It should be noted that the port for 3.0 hasn't started yet for wxPython and I'm not seeing anything about a port for PyQt either on their website. When I started out with Tkinter, I didn't find the docs to be any better than what I found in wxPython. Each toolkit has it's own ups and downs. I would recommend trying them until you find something you like. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
