Hi Viktor,

By fast what do you mean exactly? Imho all the usual gui-toolkits
pythonistas use are quite fast enough for most applications. You can
use Tkinter ofcourse, and with the extra "Tix" module you get lots
widgets. It's not the prettiest toolkit in the world, but it does the
job well.  And it's very programmer friendly.
A step up would be to use wxWindows or Qt (wxPython and pyQt
respectively), both are fast and stable as far as I know, and they are
more powerful than Tk, generally speaking.

Maybe you should describe your particular application and the reasons
why you really need lightspeed widget rendering ? Stability goes
without saying:)

Regards
Lars
