Strings start a new thread here at nominally weekly intervals.  Seems to me 
that might be usable info.

I haven't actually checked subject lines, but I'm pretty sure GUIs raise  
more questions than that by some considerable margin.

About the difference between Py2 and Py3? Most of the GUI toolkits
work fine on both.

Sorry, I assumed we were talking about threads in general.  Py2 vs Py3  
threads that aren't interminable trolling don't show up often enough to  
register for me; the current set is something of an exception.

Sure. In that case, I would agree that yes, GUI coding is at least
comparable to Unicode in terms of number of threads. I don't have
figures, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that either exceeds the
other.
