I am about to release a simple-yet-complicated GUI builder which I have in
the final (first) stages of bug-elimination. It is a mini-language
interpreter written in Python (completely) using Tkinter, which means that
it is kinda slow (although not bad)- but it makes protyping GUIs very simple
and can be used to create fairly sophisticated GUIs for long-term use.

I got fed up with writing 1000 lines o' code every time I wanted to make a
largish dialog (even with using dialog classes etc.)- it'll handle menus,
buttons, radio buttons, scale sliders, file selection, and several other
things. It is definitely nice to have a good grip on Tkinter before using
it- although not necessary for simple constructions.

Anyway, thought readers of this thread might want to be on the lookout-
it'll be called tkCoLa and I'll put something through PyAnnounce in a week
or so.
