<p class="MsoNormal">I am planning for next year &amp; am considering changing from VB.NET to Python.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you used Python with a GUI in SD?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So I really want a language for &#8216;first-timers&#8217; - I don&#8217;t have any problem challenging the more experienced students&#8230;.<o:p></o:p></p>
