I however don't feel that "we" (as a community) or they (the python developers) should make any GUI toolkit the default for Python (let alone any programming language). IHMO GUI toolkits are not a feature of the language but rather a tool (or library) which is compatible in some way with your language. Python is a fine language. So what if some of the code written _in Python_ (libraires, tools, frameworks, whatever) are a bit poorly written, documented, or are lacking in features ? Is this Python's fault ? Should it be ? I don't think so. This is probably the reason for different groups in the first place (python-dev, python-core-mentoring, python-ideas, etc) so that there is a clear separation of "what's what". Can we stop arguing about this now ? cheers James > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
