Why Tcl/Tk

[Maan Hamze]

The only GUI I ever used with Python is Tkinter (what you refer to as
Tcl/Tk).  So I do not know about the rest.  But maybe you touched upon the
issue here:  TCL/Tk - a widely supported and cross platform interface with
an active community working on it that goes beyond Python.  Also, lots of
literature on it.  For example, check the excellent John E. Grayson's book
Python and Tkinter Programming.  But on the long run, it is also a matter of
personal taste.  Tkinter comes with Python and it appeals to a wide sector
of users.  Then if one feels like using another interface so be it.
