Not sure what your advantage is with pyinstaller, it adds a level of complication that doesn't usually justify itself IMO. > I have already an implementation in perl/tk : > http://fex.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/fop/ZAcXSugp/schwuppdiwupp.png > http://fex.belwue.de/download/schwuppdiwupp.pl > > I am not really happy with tk, because it has some bugs, at least its perl > integration.

There are some limitations to tk, and I personally don't like its style, but if you're wanting to package it up into an EXE, every third-party library you add will increase the size of that EXE, potentially quite significantly (wxPython will drag in everything that it depends on, which IIRC is quite a bit). There are other choices, too - pygtk/pygobject (GTK) and pyqt (Qt) come to mind - is there a particular reason you're limiting the question to just wx vs tk? Personally, I quite like GTK, but I don't have much experience with either of the Python bindings. Never used wxPython or PyQt. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
