OK, this is for fun only, but I have summarized my thoughts about the 
various GUI's for Python into a JavaScript scoring mechanism that ranks 
them based on a given users preferences, criteria and intended uses. 
Again, its just for fun but I have posted it on my website at 
http://www.awaretek.com/plf.html in case anyone else wants to try it. 
It's food for thought. I am comparing wxPython, PythonCard, Boa 
Constructor, Tkinter, PythonWare, Easygui, Anygui, PyQt, pyGtk, FXPy, 
pyFLTK, Jython (Swing & AWT).

I am interested in any feedback on how to improve my scoring. I am 
primarily playing around now with Jython &Swing, PythonCard, and Easygui 
but I have installed and tried all of the above, with various degrees of 
difficulty! I am using a Suse Linux box, a Mac OS X box, and a Windows 
98 box to evaluate installation etc.

I will post in the future on this site further results.

Keep in mind I am looking at all of this from the vantage point of a 
clueless newbie, with little to no computer skills. Maybe my stumbling 
with Pythonic GUI toolkits will be of help primarily to other clueless 
newbies who are looking for a starting point try to get a handle on gui 
toolkits for Python, and which one to try to learn first.
