Yes, I don'tthink that's limited to scientists either. One way to slap a basic GUI on something is to embed a web server in it, or run it as a CGI, so the user connects to it with a browser. I think most programmers are familiar with that idea, that GUI functionality doesn't have to be slick in order to be useful. Other times, you don't want a browser involved, and tkinter works fine for that. I've always found tkinter adequate for the (not terribly slick) applications I've written with guis. I can understand it's only good for relatively rudimentary apps, but that's sufficient for lots of things. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
