Seems you are only concerned about yourself CM. However this a
community discussion. You must put your wants and needs in the
backseat before you can see what is best for the Python community as a
whole.
Pot? Meet Kettle...
Given that the community response has largely been an
overwhelming "meh, show me some code" rather than an "I
whole-heartedly agree with rantingrick", your use of "we" in your
emails sounds more like a "royal we"[1] than a community-based
concern.
"best for the Python community" seems to be something that
doesn't break backwards compat. with existing code-bases, works
across a multitude of platforms, has a minimal install footprint,
and a proven track-record of meeting those needs. Tkinter and wx
both seem to satisfy most of those requirements, except that wx
seems to have a larger footprint and not have been
production-ready at the time a decision needed to be made for
inclusion of a gui-library in Python. (I also don't know if
there are licensing concerns with wx vs. tk and their interplay
with the Python license).
