Yes, I think that's the way I'll go

I read it's very dangeruous

At first I didn't want to visualize anything,
but as this my first change to use a Python GUI
(until now I always do my GUI in Delphi, which is much easier ;-),
I'm thinking of: LEDs turning on and off, LCD-displays etc.
Besides that I want to use a editor component, where the actual executed 
code line is highlighted.

I've chozen OGL, after looking at the wxPython demos (really beautiful 
demo !!),
and for as far as I can judge it's quit similar to FLOATCANVAS.
Anyway thanks for the tip.

cheers,
