Perking up the AI

Boa does indeed look nice. But, it does not appear to have been updated for the past 1.5 years. I guess if what is already there works well, then great. I probably wouldn't want to get too wedded to it though, as it will probably break against newer versions of wx at some point.

Most of the info about wx is available, and for the tricky questions I just asked at http://bytes.com/topic/python/ where the community was very helpful.

As far as Boa not being updated for some time, I remember that that worried me as well. But then I found a post where someone said that it is active but mature and really is a case of 'if it ain't broke - don't fix it.' Even though it looks like it is Alpha or Beta with the version numbering, it really does a very good job - especially for Python newbies like me. I had a quick look at kTinker etc but it looked more complicated. Give me drag and drop any day.
