[Zope] Vote for Windowing Toolkit to use for Fat Client

Tue, 22 May 2001 13:14:30 -0700

I think this has been tried with Zope studio, which was abandoned.  I am
going to guess that this was too complicated.  wxWindows/wxPython is like=
ly
a better solution because it is likely to be a lighter-weight toolkit in
terms of development complexity...

Just a friendly reminder to fellow list members - in the spirit of
x-platformness, make sure that you send plain-text e-mail to the list ;)
