    Exactly. There are plenty of GUI packages out there, why have a
standard one? For me, for everything I want to do, wxPython is a very
obvious and clear choice. For you, its Tkinter.
    What annoys me is that Tkinter *is* the de-facto standard, and is
actually now shipped with python itself. If TCL wasn't involved, if they
DID use the TK/C api, that wouldn't be such a problem.. but they do,
so, the whole 'if they did.....' argument is moot.

    I think there will always be handfulls, regardless. No one will ever
agree that one is the best.
