Well, that depends what the meaning of the word 'any' is. Do you mean 'any' to be one or more possible applications or do you mean it to be all possible applications? Yes, you can write many programs with the base python install. Potentially you could write any program; however, the point is not to rewrite code that someone has already done. That's the purpose of libraries. For example, python comes with a 'math' library which allows you to calculate sines and cosines of angles without having to understand the process by which someone calculates these values. > One more thing is what is tkinter?Can any one explain what are all > branches in python and how it could be used? pygtk and tkinter are libraries that people have written to let you write applications containing GUIs. pygtk is a separate download; tkinter comes with most Python distributions. > -- > > Vanam > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor >
