I run Linux at home, using a mixmash of GNOME and Linux applications... I would rather have learned either Qt or GTK, and not a "third" toolkit. Yes, GTK compiles on Windows too and is "more" GPL, but it's not ready even for experienced C coders to use (GIMP/Win32 is an exception).

In fact, at least boa I couldn't get to work, either.

I'm using different wxGTK/wxPython versions for a couple of month, and 
beside the usual small probs, it's working fine.
(wxGTK 2.2.[23], wxPython 2.2.[12], python 1.5.2, linux)

My probs so far arose from locale handling of python, GTK, wxGTK, mySQLdb 
in the mix, grid issues (biggest one resolved last night ;-), and some 
memory leaking from the wx libs (which is addressed in the CVS version,
but haven't tried it, yet).

I never got my work done that fast before...

Boudewijn, if you're willing to try it one more time, I'm willing to 
help you to get things going!

Keep-on-hacking-ly yours, hp

When I originally designed Perl 5's OO, I thought about a lot of this stuff,
and chose the explicit object model of Python as being the least confusing. So
far I haven't seen a good reason to change my mind on that.
