But my point and the discussion is grounded in, "and be cross platform", because we're discussing GUI's in the context of Tkinter: which is everywhere. If someone doesn't need to target the Big Three with one code base, then sure, the options you suggest may be very nice solutions for them. I was more talking about an app which can run on windows, linux and OSX. -- Stephen Hansen ... Also: Ixokai ... Mail: me+list/python (AT) ixokai (DOT) io ... Blog: http://meh.ixokai.io/
