I'm using C++; the main reasons behind this are that (a) Python would introduce another layer of complexity and possible configtool support issues; (b) I know C++ so I'll be more productive, and (c) since the original configtool was written in C++, quite a bit of code can be lifted with minimal translation. But yes, a lot of people rave about wxPython. The Linux (wxGTK) version is going well and it's starting to allow configuration viewing and editing. Although I'm a bit biassed towards wxWindows being its original author, I'm still pleasantly surprised at how good a job it does ;-) in large part due to Robert Roebling's excellent GTK+ port, together with his dialog editor.
