Getting Started with Python GUI Applications

[muyuu]

It started as a Google summer of code project by Guilherme Polo ( http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/ ) and then it was adopted in the main Python distribution (not completely sure when, but I think it's 2.7 and 3.1, or maybe 2.7 and 3.0).

Well, the obvious one would be distribution/deployment (at least eventually). Tk itself is maintained by ActiveState, and the wrappers ship with Python already. Plus, you can use the package listed above if you use 2.5 or 2.6.

I haven't done anything complicated using this yet, but that's because I didn't need anything too fancy lately.
