1) No. 2) I guess no. Because it has pretty heavy dependencies (wx,
GTK/other toolkit)
Tkinter is what comes ou of the box - and thats it.

No it's not part of the official distribution of CPython,
ad AFAIK it will not be anytime soon.

Hello Philippe,

No, I don't think it will ever be part of Python. But, wxWidgets is written
in C++, so it has nothing *pythonic* in it. There is, however, a "Python
Binding" of wxWidgets, called (obviously ;-) ) wxPython. If you can install
a site-package, I would suggest you to visit http://www.wxpython.org/.
wxPython has a very active newsgroup and a lot of nice user contribution. If
you can not install a site-package, I think that Tkinter is the only choice
you have (but I may be wrong here).
HTH.
Andrea.

No, and *I hope* that if another toolkit has to replace Tkinter (will never
happen?) will be PyGTK... :)

Why do you hope for PyGTK? I think one of the strengths of wxWidgets
is that it uses the native platform's look. GTK looks very nice on my
Gnome desktop, but to be honest it's rather ugly on Windows or Mac.

This will only mean that people that now prefer wxPython over Tkinter will
in future prefer wxPython over PyGTK ;-)

Re: Python gui
PyGTK is just easier to code with. The api is much nicer. However,
yeah, the windows/mac appearance probably does make it a non-starter,
unfortunately. As near as I can tell, the solution that currently has
the most momentum is to just integrate the cheeseshop more tightly into
python, so that whatever gui toolkit you choose can be installed
easily. Its probably the only politically feasible solution anyway.

That's why I think that Dabo's UI module is the best of all worlds. It
wraps wxPython, so the controls look great on any platform, but
provides a cleaner and more consistent API than raw wxPython. I almost
never have to look up how to do something in Dabo, whereas I couldn't
program in wxPython without the docs open.

It really depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to
make any advanced GUI application, you'll probably want some
third party extension to Tkinter anyway, and then you might
as well choose another tool kit from the beginning, whether
it's wxPython, PyGtk or PyQt. It's not more inconvenient to
rely on wxPython than to rely on e.g. Pmw (2 years since last
release).

But why do that yourself, when you can use a GUI toolkit that does it
for you?
