He is obviously lying to discredit me. And I have posted evidence of
his hyperbole.

Yet he has NO knowledge of wxPython and his Tkinter knowledge is
lacking.

Well i agree with that. However these people keep coming back with the
same BS arguments...

 * the challenge is impossible.

No the challenge is not impossible to complete. However due to
Tkinters lacking richness. It is impossible to win against wxPython.
So they resort to all this BS because they KNOW they cannot win. Just
admit that wxPython wins this round and i'll move on to the next
challenge.

 * wxPython is not cross platform.

Total BS.

 * Yes wxPython has many widgets but most are not useful.

Even more BS.

And you wonder why i call people ignorant? I did give them the benefit
of the doubt before saying these things. Bryan has yet to post any
links so i can corroborate his "Tkinter" guru status. He has also
clearly lied many times in his posts (which i have documented). And
most importantly no one but myself has offered any code.
