well, i wrote several programs ranging from 10 lines up to 3000 lines,
some of them using wxpython for guis, 
and all worked using linux as well as using windows 2k.
most os-specific tasks are wrapped by python such that the
programmer does not need to care which os he is using.

there a just some libraries such as win32 which has no counterpart
in the linux distribution...

greetings, uwe.
