Can Python replace Visual Basic? Should it?

[Ken Seehof]

That's easy.  Yes.

Also, I recommend wxPython (www.wxpython.org) as your GUI framework (in
python you have several good ones to choose from).  It's cross platform and
a much cleaner design than the Microsoft stuff.  Be sure to run the wxPython
demo program; it will save you lots of time learning.
