It all depends on what you need.  You can always "drop down" to calling
wxPython.

Funny you mention that.  I started that discussion on the PythonCard
list only yesterday.

While it's true that the web pages hasn't been updated to follow up
with the developments, I am delighted to learn that there has been
quite a bit of work going on.

Again, it all depends on what your needs are.  If you need to become
productive in a hurry,  and you are not exactly chasing after the
latest widget, my recommendation is to go with PythonCard.
