I've used it for some trivial stuff, but not for anything very sophisticated. Redhat's text-mode installer program (anaconda) was written in Python using Newt (I believe it is why Newt was invented). That's probably the most "full featured" example I know of. -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
