GTK port of wxPython.

I'm some what confused I thought GTK (gnome?) , QT, and wxWidgets were graphic
Lib's. And wxPython was a wrapper for wxWidgets. Now you say that
python-GTK is a GTK port of wxPython. Why would GTK want to port wxWidgets?

no. python-wxGTK

I guess I don't know what GTK is about or there is different def's for GTK.

wxWidgets/wxPython is using the 'native' gui lib on each platform. As there is
no such 'nativ' toolkit on X (linux), several ports exist among them the GTK
port is the most common. Maybe in future there will be more ports, e.g. I heard
some people say that they would like to see a QT port. This would then probably
be called python-wxQT.

Uwe I never got it to work. I tried for several days. At this point I don't
recall the issues (I believe I reported them to you). I do recall
the "configure" worked and so did the second step. Anyway, the question was
about the python-wxGTK stuff which was explained. I'll just have to wait
until SUSE or someone provides the install.
