Eclipse with Pydev is great with Tkinter apps. I try to stick with Tkinter so Boa, Eric are not my cup of tea. Some mainstream free IDE have problems with Tkinter's mainloop: PythonWin IDLE, that I know of, may be others. Eclipse with Pydev has been behaving excellently with Tkinter apps, never freezing up, giving me the debugger, etc. Great stuff! PS Yes, a Tkinter datagrid would be nice (sigh) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
