okei.. perhaps YMMV

well.. I'm only repeating what I've read previously in this thread.
I believe Qt is not available for Windows without paying money, and I'm
not sure what platforms Qt and wxWindows (or whatever it's called) is
available on.

I must admit I'm on new territory here. I've only been using Python and
Tkinter for ~5 months or so. So my statements may have nothing to do with
reality. I appologize.

However, my experience with Tkinter is only positive. I think it's easy to
use, I do _not_ think it's ugly, and I have successfully used the Tcl/Tk
documentation together with Tkinter.

But, as I have nothing more interesting to say about this, I will shut up
:-)
