pyGTK Vs. wxPython

Ok thanks Chis,

Now where is a good resource to learn wxpython i have read the online tutorials but i am looking for a place to really harness the power! Also does wxpython have those little tool tips that windows xp pops up every once in a while in the corner!

OK. I’m going to try again. If you are supporting only one platform,
then which toolkit is best can depend on which platform you are running,

so you’ll get better advice if you tell us.

i just want to know
which one is the easiest one to learn! with out compromising on power
and widgets etc…

much depends on the etc. (platform native-ness, ???)

I’ve never used PyGTK, so I can’t comment on easy-to-learn, but you’re
hard pressed to beat wxPython for power and widgets. If you need a
particular high-level widget, that might help your decision. For example:

Lots of folks like TK’s canvas (though wx has FloatCanvas and OGL).
Ditto TK’s text widget (wx has HTMLWindow and the new RichText control)

wx has:
Things like the wx.HTMLWindow and the wx.Grid
, which can really help if
you need such a thing.

I don’t know what nifty hogh-level widgets PyGTK has.

If tell us what tools you need, we may be able to help more.

oh, and you may want to look at pyQT also.

Yes, wxPython can do tool tips very nicely.

So, I guess you develop for Windows?! This would for me to be reason enough NOT to even consider pyGTK, it does not look nice on Windows - also I think I have only seen one app.
