Cool. Thanks for the tipoff. A bit late for my class, although I have only just done a little bit of intro to GUI.

I agree with you completely.

Oddly enough, Jython - which is actually Java - is more Pythonic than wxPython.

Here’s an example from my scripts.
btn = JToggleButton(lbl, icn, focusable=0, preferredSize=bsz, minimumSize=bsz, maximumSize=bsz, font=fnt, margin=(1, 2, 1, 2))

I’m not too keen on using builders :-/

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out. It appears to be only Windows, which is okay for school at the moment, but not so good for home.

No, it’s not Pythonic at all since wxWindows is a C++ toolkit and wxPython is just a thin layer of Python on top of it.

When I deal with wx, I use VisualWx for my GUI builder. Makes things a lot easier, IMO.
