Does WX still do weird things like use event message maps instead of a sane signals and slots mechanism? Last I used it, the API wasn't very pythonic either (PyQt isn't really pythonic either; PyGTK seems to be much better). WX may look better than Tkinter on the screen, but it still has problems fitting in everywhere. Certainly wx apps on OS X are pretty bad, though that's mostly a developer issue. Qt makes it a bit easier to fit in by providing a nice API to change button orders and integrate with native dialog boxes. At least with Tkinter, it doesn't quite fit in anywhere so a user is alerted to the fact that it probably won't behave as other Windows apps do. Then again, the Windows world is so full of inconsistent UIs and custom widget sets that it probably doesn't matter either way. On OS X, though it will matter greatly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
