I'm at a loss too: on Debian, it is a simple: sudo apt-get install wxpython On Redhat, you download the RPM and: rpm -i On Windows and Mac, you download the package and run through the wizard. Admittedly, installing from source is more difficult than any other project I've found, but still doable. Tkinter was a contender, but unfortunately while it is easy to use, it doesn't provide a modern GUI look and feel. That was a showstopper, at least for me. -- Paul McNett http://paulmcnett.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
