The Python community is.

So is Perl's--but in a different way.

Scripting GUIs with Python is a far richer experience
than with Perl, in general; I've studied and done both
in some depth, and write this with confidence.  HOWEVER,
one significant advantage of Perl/Tk (there's a second
one, not apposite for this discussion) is its "deploy-
ability".  There is more than one practical way to
generate a single-file executable from a conventional
Perl/Tk application.  What's the situation on the Python
side?  Gordon's Installer makes Win* Tkinter apps into
single files ...  I know of *no* other of the many Python
GUI bindings which enjoys this benefit.

Does anyone have evidence to the contrary?

Assume the usual disclaimers:  I'm not claiming this
deficiency, if true, is cause for alarm, hairy palms,
starvation in the southern hemisphere, or so on.  I'm
just out to get the facts.
