Hi<br>
I'm starting to design some windows for my little tool.<br>
I've two questions for you:<br>
1) In this page <a href="http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html" target="_blank">http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html</a> there are two<br>
different library for Windows and GNU/Linux, but I want my application<br>
to be executed identically under Windows and under GNU/Linux. Is PyGTK<br>
a good choice? There are some difference between PyGTK library under<br>
Windows and under GNU/Linux, that is have I to develop two different<br>
versions of my tool?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There shouldn't be. There might be some decorative differences, but that's due to the different window managers. </div><div><br></div><div>But yes, PyGTK is a good choice.</div>

2) Do you suggest to use Glade to design windows? Note: I'm totally<br>
new both to python and to GUI design (I've always worked on signal<br>
processing, never develop a MMI) so I'm searching something that can<br>
be as much as possible both "educational" and friendly.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Glade is pretty useful for most people. I don't personally use it because I find that, personally, I spend more time looking up how to adjust something in Glade than just write the code myself. I guess if I were trying to write some large project or had a great desire to learn Glade, I'd find it useful. I know some people prefer it - I guess it should come down to this line of questioning:</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you make a webpage do you prefer Arachnophilia/Dreamweaver/WYSIWYG or vi/emacs/notepad?</div><div><br></div><div>When you regularly program do you prefer IDLE/Codeblocks/Etc. or vi/emacs/notepad?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you lean towards the former, I would recommend Glade. If you lean towards the latter, I would recommend you try out Glade, but you may likely find simply coding in your favourite editor works better for you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>HTH,</div><div>Wayne</div></div>
