Tkinter and wxPython

[Timothy Grant]

Hi folks,

I have seen the GUI wars here, and have for the most part
ignored them. I am now in a situation where I need input.

We have a project that involves a simple GUI--at the moment--
that will be getting significantly more complex as the summer
goes on.

Before we get to far in the project I'm trying to consider my
options. 

Here's our analysis so far:

Tkinter
-------
Defacto standard
Faster to code
Easier to layout complex screens
Proven (we know it works)

on the down side, it feels slow.

wxPython
--------
Looks significantly better
More robust widget set
feels faster
The author works two blocks away (Hi Robin!)

on the down side, it is unproven and is not the defacto
standard.

So, I'm looking for people that have changed projects from one
toolkit to the other and the reasons why they changed.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
