And I discover more and more each day that stability is important... >The original designer of OpenEV did an analysis at the time and decided on >python and GTK. I guess that what makes it difficult for me is that I don't know yet what part is responsible when something goes wrong. And there are a few things going wrong with OpenEV. I'll need to find a way to debug it. And learn Python... >Instead, I think Qt would be a stronger platform, though I am not >sure how great the Python bindings are.

The OSSIM team have decided to move to Qt instead of wxWindows and when I found out about those licensing issues on Windows, I was not very happy. It basically means that all the neat things I have built over the last few months using wxWindows and OSSIM are irrelevant now. That's why I decided to go with OpenEV...
