You didn't say that WxPython doesn't work on Python 3, so I don't know what you are talking about.

I couldn't find the word soapbox in the dictionary so I don't know what it means. I guess that not the soap + box.
Please be more clear and not talk like the high school kids.

And I was saying the same thing. What's the problem? Because I keep telling it?

Do you think that this really matters?
Do you think that if Python 3 will have support for WxPython much earlier than Tkinter will be accessible, and if WxPython will be fixed to not give segfaults, WxPython will be included in the Python distribution?
I guess that it won't, so it is less important that WxPython has bugs or that it is not available for Python 3.

But we'll see. I can assure you that if after 5 years WxPython will be available for Python 3 but Tk will still be inaccessible for the most used screen reader, Tkinter will still be the default GUI lib.
(And 5 years doesn't mean overnight)
