Exactly! All we need to do is replace the existing Tkinter with a small sub-set of wxPython widgets that mirrors exactly what we have now... Toplevel Label Entry Button Radiobutton Checkbutton Canvas Textbox Listbox Menu Scale Scrollbar ...thats all you need in the std library "widget wise". The rest of what makes up wx can exist in the "wxPython Extension Library". Python needs this change! We have already made incompatible changes so now is the time to start seriously brainstorming on how we can integrate the beauty, elegance, and feature rich power of wxPython. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
