Yeah that. And pygtk rather than GTK. Or I could have gone the other
way and said Tk instead of Tkinter. One way or another, I ought to
have been more consistent. Anyway. Pick a good toolkit, get to know
it, and use it. Personally, I like GTK, but that's partly because its
bindings come with Pike, and I did GUI work with Pike before I did
with Python; the same advantage, for someone starting with Python,
goes to Tk. But the main thing is, it's easy to be cross-platform -
take whatever feels good to you.
