newbie books

[Robert]

I would go to the wxPython site and look at the code. Each has its ups and
downs and what I or someone else likes you may not. WxPython has a more C++
feel to it...you will have to wade through the C++ docs with comments here
and there about the Python side. Tkinter now has a very detailed book in
Python and Tkinter Programming (is John paying me to say this? : ) ). I
would do a little research and check it out.
