Can someone articulate why Tk should be replaced?
I don't know whether Tk should replaced, but I can explain why I don't use it for our commercial Python application. It is just too big and complicated. Windows comes with a built-in GUI, and I hesitate to install another scripting language (Tcl) and its libraries, and then install a big system which has frequently been out of phase with Python releases just to access the Windows GUI. What if a user calls with a problem? Why should I have to debug their Tcl library path problems? No thanks. JimA
