For now, a good MFC book is really required to learn MFC and Pythonwin at
the same time. Pythonwin is great for building slick windows specific apps,
but the learning curve is steep if you dont know MFC.

You way like to fiddle with Tkinter - you will probably find far more
tutorial type information available...After playing with it, you can decide
if it is suitable for your intended use.

Could try wxPython.

Guppy,

Do you know if I can embed & display a COM obj in wxPython? wxPy is
good, but needs good graphics package like Graphics Server.
I have linked VB with Python via COM. It's a pretty decent solution. I
get all the graphics stuff of VB screens and it's much much easier than
using MFC. Only problem is it takes about 20 sec to shoot up the first
form and passing large array back and forth via COM takes some time.
Good MFC reference would really be great. MS still leads everyone on
the GUI portion by great margin. Now if we only had IDE like VB where I
can just draw controls and hit . to get all attributes and methods. I
wish I was good enough to write Visual Pyhon.

Hoon,
