Oh Stephan i strongly disagree with that assessment. Tkinter blows Wx
away with it's simultaneousness powerful AND elegantly simplistic
geometry managers, grid, pack, and place. If you have not used them to
any extent i strongly encourage you do so before boasting on the
superiority of Wx geometry management. It's like night and day really.
Wx is very ugly in this respect, again due to fact it has a C base
developer pool.
