Tkinter vs wxPython: your opinions?

Hello Greg!

Really great post - thank you very much!

At the moment I am in the situation where I have to decide if we stick
on Tkinter or if we should change to wxPython. I am using Tkinter/Pmw
for almost 8 month and the following points are the one which I dislike
most:
- no table widget/grid (I made my own but it _is_ like a nightmare)
- no tree widget (I used a simple one which is freely available and made
some extensions)
- speed (canvas widgets are very powerful but unfortunately slow)

The last point is the most important one. I am happy with my table and
tree widget regarding to there functionality but the performance is a
big drawback. And speed is the reason why I think about wxPython more
and more.

Tkinter 3000 raised my hopes because it should be 2-10 times faster in
"a typical application". But when will the first final release be
available? How much is the perfomance boost for canvas widgets (I use
them in my table and tree widget)?

Changing to wxPython would result in much work so Tkinter 3000 - please
be fast :-)).

Nice greetings
Horst
