Python vs Java : GUI, drag an drop

I'll have the second the motion for wxPython, but then I'm a bit biased.
<wink>

wxPython has very complete integration with the platform's DnD and Clipboard
capabilities, including handling multiple data standard or custom formats
simultaneously.

If all you're looking for is the ability to drag items around a window, I'm
working on wrapping a new class that will help you do this.  Tkinter's
canvas class also supports this very well.
