[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3 - Carbon only?

[Schollnick, Benjamin]

Bob,

	I agree....  There are several limitations in the Mac OS 
	(classic) version of Tkinter that bothers me.  Especially,
	since those limits are not in the PC version of Tkinter...

	(Since I write cross platform code, if I have to code
	it slightly differently on the each platform, it causes
	headaches later...)

	But, that being said, we need a GUI.  If going carbonized
	would Hinder, or prevent us from using a Tkinter Gui,
	then what do we develope our GUI's with?

	I don't expect Carbonization to help or hinder our
	use of Tkinter, but if it does (hinder), then we need
	to have a plan in place to solve it... Not just ignore
	it...

		- Benjamin

<just my opinion>
The Mac has had long-standing problems with TKinter. Personally I don't see
that being resolved without MacOSX. That means hoping that integration with
TKinter will get better under OS 8.x is futile.
