For QT, I agree. For wxWindows, I don't know - I heard people say it runs
on the AIX, I heard people say it doesn't.

I think this is ironic. As soon as I got stuck for many hours searching
Tcl manpages for Python calls and having to read Python source code to
find out the Python way to do something described in the Tcl manpages, I
stopped using Tkinter. But I repeat:

Fredrik does not seem to get that. I'll probably need to put this in my
.sig because I otherwise risk to get flamed because of my opinions.

I do not live in a dictatorship.

I haven't.

Me neither, but I find Fredrik's reaction very strange, especially because
he mentions my "madness" everywhere in c.l.py now!
