Python and Tkinter Programming

I first encountered Python in 1993 when I joined a small company in Rhode Island. Their primary product was a GUI-builder for X/Motif that generated code for C, C++, Ada and Python. I was tasked with extending the object-oriented interface for X/Motif and Python. In the past I’d become skeptical about the use of interpretive languages, so I began the task with little excitement. Two days later I was hooked. It was easy to develop interfaces that would have taken much more time and code to develop in C. Soon after, I began to choose interfaces developed using the Python interface in preference to compiled C code.
