Perhaps this is because the wx binding in Python is too C++-like and lacks python concepts and idioms? Or are you saying Python in general is not a good language for GUI development? GUI design is moving firmly into the realm of interpreted or non-compiled languages, with compiled languages often doing the real back end work. For example Firefox implements its entire GUI in Javascript using XML GUI definitions. This all drives a C-based rendering engine. Also Qt 5 emphasizes developing GUIs using QtQuick, which is also Javascript-based with XML and CSS for styling. And all modern web apps are a combination of many languages and domains, most of which are "compiled" in the traditional sense. I think Python is a great overall application development language, especially for the GUI. First-class functions for callbacks make it very nice compared to other languages. Python is fast enough for full-blown apps too. Slow parts can be factored out to other languages. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
