Agree totally.  I can't say enough thanks to the
developers of Pythoncard.  I don't know how "complex"
and "big" a project has to be before one have to
resort to wxpython but recently I coded some 10,000
lines of purely GUI code (some 50 to 60 screens) in
about 2 week's time (see my previous postings about
creating Pythoncard controls on the fly).  May be it's
not the sexiest looking code in the universe - but it
surely made my customer (and my accountant) very
happy.  THANKS - Pythoncard.

For the kind of 2-D plotting I do, nothing beats
matplotlib.  There was some rumblings about
integrating matplotlib with pythoncard (there is
direct support of wxpython already) but nothing came
out of it.
