[Tutor] Tkinter-wxPython

[Rob]

Although the original poster did not ask about this, I think there is some
benefit to comparing a more broad range of similar offerings to get the full
effect.

For instance, Jython developers have access to AWT & Swing for GUI
development. And even XHTML offers access to textboxes, radiobuttons,
checkboxes, etc.

Decisions about which path to take in the life of a developer or of any
given project will be based on what end results are intended, what resources
are available, etc.

For the purposes of learning GUI development in general, all of them are
handy.
