It should be possible to do better than Tkinter; that has to jump through
hoops to get around all the <shudder> Tcl floating around in Tk.
Just to kick around a few ideas, what should a python version of simple.c
look like? I was thinking something vaguely like
from gtk import *
def hello:
gprint "hello world"
def destroy:
gtk.exit(0)
gtk.init()
w = Window(WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
w.destroy = destroy #alternatively w.commands{"destroy":destroy}
w.border_width = 10
b = Button("Hello World")
b.clicked = [hello,w.destroy] #list of commands to execute
b.show()
w.add(b)
w.show()
gtk.main()
Bear in mind that I'm not wholly sure how you'd implement that...
