You don't have to choose between them. You can program Swing applications in Jython. And Jython is just a jar that you can bundle in another jar for distribution just like any other Java jar. You will have to understand Java code to learn Swing, though. I suggest also looking into the Swing Application Framework and Netbeans. However, I would look at PyQt first (if the license requirements are OK). PyQT is well thought out, consistent, and featureful. And then maybe try wxPython if you need a more liberal license. wxPython is clunky and inconsistent, but gets the job done. Dave Cook -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
