Tk is neither sane nor native-feeling, especially on Linux, where it looks like something from two decades ago. On other platforms, it also is not 100% native. I personally recommend PyQt4/PySide. wxPython is also worth checking out. And it might be better to stay with Python 2, there are still things that don't work with Py3k that you might find crucial. -- Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick <http://chriswarrick.com/> Sent from my SGS3.
