I'll put in my plug for FOX:

And though they're not quite ready yet, I'm working on the Python
wrappers as we speak. Should be available within a week.

It's probably doable (as somebody's doing a port of GTK to Windoze -
check out www.gtk.org for the URL), but not worthy in my oppinion (the
port does not use Common Controls and the like).
A much better choice is wxPython http://alldunn.com/wxPython, which is
Python on top of wxWindows, a cross-platform GUI framework. You get
Windoze, Unix (Gtk and Motif), and Mac.

there is a wxGrid widget in wxWindows.

wxPython is mapped onto GTK under Linux, native API under Windows and
has a 'grid' widget. If it crashes (suppose this) on 4000 lines, you
will have a patch within a day (as I understand).

For now, GTK is strictly a unix toolkit. There are some ports to
windows, but most require an X server. I did run across one that didn't
require X, but I lost it's address. It was very alpha anyways.

I don't know what your best bet is, but try searching deja.com for keys
like "toolkit", "tkinter", "pyGTK" and "wxPython". That last one sounds
like it might be your answer, but I've never tried it.

you do mean 4,000,000 lines, don't you?

or did you use a seriously broken version of Tk(inter)?

after all, if it's a bug in your program, changing the UI
toolkit won't help...

As someone has mentioned, even if it is made to work under windows, pygtk
would not have a windows look and feel. wxPython is probably your best bet
if tkinter is not acceptable.

What grid widget is in question?

Unless you use a Windows theme with GTK :-)

There's always: http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/

The problem is that I doubt it will support Python right now. It could
probably be done, though, with some work on your part. :)
