It's very powerful, but it's got its foibles. The mailing list is very helpful, with lots of participation by Robin Dunn - the wxPython head honcho. There are some gui builders, even a couple of commercial ones, but lots and lots of free tools as well. It's cross-platform, with some quirks on each of them that can usually be worked around. The best version to use right at the moment is the latest 2.8.9.2 for the Python 2.5 series. http://wxpython.org Be sure to check out Andrea's examples - http://xoomer.virgil...ain/freeware.html He has created a tool for easily making stand-alone apps from the interpreted Python code - http://code.google.com/p/gui2exe/ Have fun no matter what you pick! Cheers, Scott. (Who should mention that if you want to program in C++, then wxWidgets is probably the way to go - http://www.wxwidgets.org )

The flash plugin was capable of downloading and installing the AIR runtime. On Linux. From within Opera. And the app installer can put the app's icon on the Gnome desktop and in the menu. And run it after installing! Adobe have done some fabulously good Linux work with AIR. Now to see if the SDK is easy enough to use... Wade. "Ah -- I take it the doorbell doesn't work?"
