I'm mostly a C programmer, with a little Python experience.  I have only
basic needs for GUI and graphics.  The Tkinter set of widgets seems
adequate for my needs, although one never knows for sure what ones needs
might be.

Portability is important.  My audience is 50/50 linux and Windows
people.  I myself use Win 2000.

Ease of learning is important to me.  I have only a little experience
with GUI and graphics programming.  I keep using the phrase "GUI and
graphics" because I need graphical output from my programs, not just a
GUI to control them.
