Please excuse this intrusion.
I love python.
I have a budget to create an app.
It should be easy to modify like VB.
It should be microsoft-intolerant because I hate Seattle.
The app is gonna peruse sourcecode to move stuff around.
I want a gui, because it will be cool.
I need the overview guru’s advice on this one.
Q: Is wx_____ good for this, or is it overkill,
Q: What competing technologies exist.
Thanks guy/gals.
I truely appreciate any feedback on this. You are doing great work!

This sounds like a homework assignment.

Thanks for the reply.
I dont see any GUI in PyObjC
Via PyObjC you have access to most of the Cocoa library, which is the Mac UI and other supporting APIs.

http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters? Relax with wxPython!
Answers:
Q1: wxPython is easy to edit. Use any good text editor. One of the great things about Python is that you can create small test scripts and run them interactively to see the results.
This link should help a bit with Python (the language):
* very clear, readable syntax
* strong introspection capabilities
* intuitive object orientation
* natural expression of procedural code
* full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
* exception-based error handling
* very high level dynamic data types
* extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually
every task
* extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for
Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
* embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
Q2: There are lots of "competing" technologies. What you're really asking is why is wxPython the best choice for your project. First you should have a clear understanding of the business case. For example:
* What problem does the application solve?
* Who is the target audience? (i.e., who will be using the
application and under what circumstances? mixed platforms?)
* What are the external constraints, if any? (for instance, high
availability or access to network resources)
By clearly defining the business case, the best choice of technologies will emerge. Good chance that wxPython will be considered.
