I can't really understand your hostility towards non-Tkinter
toolkits.  In the case of wxPython, it's part of SUSE, which is
probably also true for Fedora and Mandriva.  Installing is as easy
as selecting a checkbox.  This covers a very great deal of Linux
users.  On Windows you have to call an exe file.

Tschö,
Torsten.
