Even if there are wrappers for things like the MFC library, I would
not say that Python is a "good choice" for writing Windows applications
as defined by Pjer (and Pjer was asking whether it Python is a "good
choice" for his kind of projects or not). 

I use Python for 80%+ of my projects (mostly cross-platform) and
would normally recommend it for almost any project; but considering
the various Microsoft OS (incl. Longhorn) and their differences, I 
think using C#/.NET (or maybe even C++) is a better choice for some-
one in Pjer's situation.
