[Tutor] GUI

[Liam Clarke]

Tkinter is simpler to use, wxPython is far more powerful but a bit
harder to learn. It's based on the C++ library wxWidgets, and
sometimes the abstraction leaks a bit, but this is just my opinion.

Check out pythoncard though, it simplifies wx development
dramatically; even has a drag and drop interface; but you can still
use wxPython method calls and objects directly if Pythoncard doesn't
do what you want.

Liam Clarke
