[Tutor] "from this import *" or "import this"

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

You're welcome. I think wxPython is quite nice and prefer it for myself.
There is a new version due out in about a week or two, which has made quite
a number of improvements and is very stable. I would look for that one. Good
luck.
