Any chance you could be persuaded to try Python + wxPython for GUI programming ?

Recently after completing the GUI for a project using wxWindows I noticed that I
was typing just too much for the end goal so I searched for something that would
help me. Python and wxPython appearead as the ideal solution to me.

Some might call Python "executable pseudocode" or might not like the fact that
it doesn't have strong static type checking (I didn't like that at first), but I
found it excellent for all my projects where I have CPU cycles to spare. The
written code is small and easy to understand (so project maintenance is easy in
the future), comes with lots of build-in libraries and is very intuitive to use.
YMMV but I just love it !

Cheers,
Andrei
