I think everyone agrees that wxPython is a much nicer GUI than TKinter to use to program with. Plus the BoaConstructor it makes a natural match for FatZopeClient.
COM On Win 32 it is quite easy to use COOM inside wxPython. this means embedding Internet Explorer control, MSOffice stuff, Flash Controls, etc can save a lot of time, gain rapid {Windoze} built-in functionality. Prototyping can be very fast. For businesses that neeed to connect to existing Win32 like Access+ODBC, a FatZopeClient like this would make very compelling application. It is very nice for to use IE when you don't have all MS toolbars and logo in your face :-)
Onion other hand, I've heard tell that python using COM doesn't 'freeze' well on windows. So if you wanted to make a single executable out of it, it would be bad mojo. Allegedly, for cross platform COM, there is good progress being made with PyXPCOM, but I have no personal experience to relate. Just soem thoughts .. Bill
