Nick and John S., thank you for the tip on wxPython! I'll look into it
for my next project. I too would avoid Qt, not because of the GPL but
simply because I don't use KDE under Linux and because Qt is not well
supported under Cygwin or on native Windows. I too like to learn from
actual printed books, so I'll check this one out. O'Reilly should do a
book on Python GUI stuff!
John H.: thanks for pointing out pythoncard. This looks like it might
be an excellent substitute for LabView-like GUIs, which all my
coworkers like. I personally refuse to read or write LabView code, on
the grounds that its syntax causes severe brain damage and is
completely unportable. But that's a flame for another thread, so to
speak...
Thanks,
Dan
