And GTK+ looks better, too. ;-) None the less, I don't think GTK+ is as solid or mature as Tk. There are still a lot of oddities, and several warnings/errors get messages printed on stderr/stdout (don't know which) rather than raising exceptions. (This is a failing of GTK+, not PyGTK.) There isn't an equivalent of the Tk text widget, which is a real shame. There are people working on something better, but it's not a trivial project and I don't have any idea how its going. > * Incorporate a database system in the standard library distribution.

Doesn't sound like part of a core library really, though I could see combining the Win32 extensions with the core package to produce a single installable. That should at least provide access to MSAccess, and possible the others, via ODBC. > * Incorporate a XML/HTML/Math-ML editor/browser with graphics capability (to > be possible with XML how internal file format).

If we can make python the > programming language for AbiWord project... I think this would be great to have. But I wouldn't put the editor/browser in the core. I would stick something like the XML-SIG's package in, though, once that's better polished. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives
