GUI Tools for Python 3.1

[python at bdurham.com]

Randy,

Tkinter is a viable GUI platform with Python 3.1's (and Python
2.7's) support for ttk (Tile). The new ttk module supports theme
aware controls so that you can build beautiful GUI's that match
your underlying platform's standards. Ttk also includes theme
aware treeview and notebook controls. The treeview control
supports multiple columns and can be configured as a (1 level)
grid. The only glaring weakness is Tkinter's support for image
formats other than GIF. This can be addressed by using the PIL
(Python Image Library) which adds about 800K to a distribution.

Tkinter is built-in, available in the 2.7 and 3.1 branches, and
supports both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python.

If you're interested in learning more, join Python's Tkinter
mailing list.
