C++/Qt4 would be perfectly portable as well, so choose whichever you find easier to work with. For C/C++ they are on par, for Python/Perl/Ruby I think Gtk has better bindings. > MacOS AFAIK.

I would actually recommend against Python/Tk, because (tried it) py2exe does not work seem to work with it, so you couldn't wrap it to easy to install binary for windows folks. I did not try Python/Gtk, but I expect you might have better luck with it (it's the Tcl/Tk interpreter that causes problems). --=20 Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --6TrnltStXW4iwmi0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGP2dWRel1vVwhjGURAoDcAJ9Z90Z1+QcSxr9mKDn6cygzcy1kRQCcCw+u D2F5q7Sao6fYXbqu7qvjW/o= =6wsG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6TrnltStXW4iwmi0--
