I don't see why the things you talk about would have to be part of the main Python distribution. Ruby on Rails seems to do pretty well without being included with the core language. There's already a pretty successful programming framework for Python (Zope), and I don't see why people wouldn't be able to put something like that together to compete on more equal terms with Ruby on Rails, or Delphi, &c. If you want the whole of the Python community to start developing stuff for one particular GUI toolkit, I think you'll have much more success by just making a really good GUI toolkit, than trying to force people to use it by standardising it. (Which I think is shown by the proliferation of GUI toolkits other than Tkinter.) In short, when you have your one-click-install Pythonic IDE extravaganza, I'm sure people will download it, whether or not they can do it on python.org. -- Björn Lindström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Student of computational linguistics, Uppsala University, Sweden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
