Of course people can select any to use and add new ones, but I'm going =
to be
putting efforts behind one early on to put in the distribution, just as =
TCL
is in Python's standard distribution.  I want the tutorial to be able to =
do
"hello world" into a window on any platform.  I sort of consider a GUI =
to be
part of the language.

I have some vague ideas on how some of Prothon's features (like =
"caller")
might work well for wrapping a GUI. I also may put the beginnings of an =
IDE
into the distribution.

When the Python port of WxWindows web page quotes someone as saying
something like "Why doesn't Python ship wxWindows as the standard GUI" I =
say
"Amen".

I may have to make wxNet easier to use before it can server as the =
Prothon
standard.
