Hi All, I started out some time ago and wrote a Python Package Manager with wxpython. It was an interesting learning experience for me. I was new to python. Some have pointed out that using wx was not a good idea for a tool to go into all the python distributions. Because it required the external dependency of wx. So, given that, I'm ready to have another go. I honestly don't see what this has to do with python-dev or the distutils-sig. If you want to write a package management tool that's great, but I don't see why python-dev should have input on that sort of thing. Asking what kind of GUI to use is a comp.lang.python question and not a python-dev question as I don't see anything like this going into the stdlib.

If you want distutils to expose something to make it easier to write your tool then that belong on the distutils-sig. But otherwise this seems off-topic for python-dev.
