python and Guile-gtk... [a bit OT]

[Gary Kline]

	Guys,

	Thanks to the bunch of you  who steered me toward python; it's 
	a really nice OO scripting language, and I'm picking it up 
	pretty rapidly.  Apppended is a "Tkinteri" [GUI] file that python
	doesn't like.  Any ideas why?  I did install this port.

	I'd like help getting python to read from a file and display a 
	steram of text on a textcanvas. I'll fiure out the buttons later.  
	I'd appreciate any insights about regular gtk and guile-gtk.  Or 
	whichever GUI libraries have the best python interface.

	thanks muchly,

	gary
