Just curious if anyone would be willing to share their thoughts
about different Python GUI programming modules. I've been
doing a bit of research and am trying to find something that:
1. Is portable. Would like to be able to send the module along
with the main python file that would be able to run a GUI
window. Would be sending this to multiple machines.
Currently I'd like it to work on OS X machines, but it'd be nice
if it worked on Windows machines, etc. Probably be using
Python 2.5 or 2.6.
2. Can show an image (that is zoomable) as well as add GUI
controls like text fields, popup menues, etc. as well as send
information back to the program from the text fields, etc.
For now, I'm really looking for something that can display
EPS (postscript) and PDF images.
A GUI library may contain such functionality, but it's more properly the domain
of a special purpose library.
The question then boils down to which GUI libraries your image/rich text library
is compatible with.
Perhaps if someone else has handled that combination they'll chime in.
Cheers & hth.,

PS: Tkinter on its own does not provide image resizing and does not on its own
support common image formats like JPEG or PNG (it does support GIF). For Tkinter
I think you can do that by adding the PIL library, if I remember the name
correctly. But as far as I know PIL doesn't yet support Python 3.x, and doesn't
support EPS or PDF, which are not image formats but rich text formats.
