I'm curious. Why did you not steer him in the Tkinter direction for his GUI
needs? Is MFC better? I learned (and forgot MFC) some time ago, years in
fact. Same with X-Windows programming. Now I'm working my way throught
"Python and Tkinter Programming" by Grayson. I thought Tkinter was the
preferred method for Pythong GUI programming. Am I mistaken?
