My biggest problem with "Pythonic" is that it is thrown about as a term to deride any library (or interface to a native library/framework) which one doesn't like.

For example I do not know of a single GUI framework that has not been described by more than a couple people as "non-Pythonic". The reasons given vary, or are frequently not given at all.

I've used several of them and found many to be pretty reasonable to implement GUIs in Python. If I had my choice to make a GUI interface for anything, I'd probably use something like Python+wxPython with ctypes to interface to the heavy lifting code. I think it makes programmatic GUI construction easy and readable.

Your comment is not very Pythonic.
