I'll look into it :)

Well, eventually i want to be able to write a simple jabber client (not using 
any code from pybber) and although i'd rather do it in qt/kde there doesn't 
seem to be a python binding for kde2, so Tkinter it will be.

I still don't know enough python and Tkinter to even start this, which is why 
i'm looking for a(/another) good tutorial but examples would be fine also i 
guess.

I've seen a AOL messenger client which could have been useful, but again.. it 
wasn't object orientated. Ofcourse i could simply use pybber, but a) it's a 
little too large and b) it uses gtk, which i want to avoid.
