Well wxPython ha a treectrl too. And if we were comparing apples to apples then we would compare the wx.TreeCtrl to the Tk::TreeCtrl. However there are many things that a ListCtrl can do that a treectrl can't. The biggest difference....

They already did that themselves by refusing to keep up with 21st century GUI libraries. Sure, you can say Tkinter is a knife and wxPython is an AK47 but who's to blame when you bring a knife to gun fight Kevin? Switch to wx and enjoy the bloodbath. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
