Hi,

I've already sent this to the Komodo mailing list (which seemed to me the more appropriate place) but unfortunately I got no response.

I'd like to build a Python GUI app. Neither Tkinter nor Wxpython nor PyQT are actually what I want (because the lack of GUI builders and they don't really look good on Windows and Linux).

Komodo itself is an excellent example of a - at least Python driven - application that looks superb and has superior functionality so it seems natural to use the Komodo approach for me.


Komodo is not a Python application. It is a Mozilla application that supports Python development. Komodo is more akin to Thunderbird and Firefox than anything else; it uses the XUL framework for rendering widgets, if I'm not mistaken. If you want to build an application like Komodo, get a book on developing with the Mozilla framework (XUL, XPCOM, and all that) and look at that. Python has little to do with that.
