Tkinter vs. wxPython

[Darrell]

I'm not a GUI expert...
But today I needed to do a quick image viewer tool. This is what I found.

Tkinter makes smaller exe's

PMW which wraps Tkinter seems impossible to wrap as an exe. 

AFIK wxPython wants to display images from BMP's. They dont look very good.
They were slow and crashed. My images are 40+ meg.

Tkinter has some nice Photo image stuff. Although I haven't figured out how 
most of it works.

So in the intrest of time I used wxPython for the UI and Tk for image 
display today. Made a 3.7meg exe and everyone is happy.
