No offense, but I've been specifically asked not to do demos with IDLE because it looked 'unprofessional'. Given the constraint of working within tkinter that may not be something you can work around, but I'm sure you can see that from a certain perspective that's beside the point.

Right, I stay away from working on Tk. It's not even a tkinter issue. I hope it will continue to get better, but I imagine it's a moving target for the Tk developers.

In your case, just bring up Wing. That'll impress them. As long as it's not on netbook :-)
