I completely agree with you about the power of PyQt, but I can give a
reason why I probably won't use it for any of my "mainstream" code in
the near future: installation. If my code uses PyQt, then every user
must install Qt and PyQt, both of which are not entirely trivial and
require a C++ compiler, which not everybody has. Moreoever,
compatibility between versions is not perfect, not all code for Qt 2
works with Qt 3. For any supported code, I'd rather avoid the
resulting support overhead and stick with Tk.

You can use wget to download the HTML code. I keep it on my
Zaurus for on-the-road-programming :-)
