PyLT - Dev Update #1 - Web Performance/Load Test Tool

(Update: PyLT has been renamed to Pylot)

A quick update on PyLT development...

I have a working version of the guts of my tool (the multi-threaded load generator).  I have now started working on the user interface.  My initial idea was to use Tk for the GUI Toolkit.  I started developing a minimal GUI and quickly realized I need a Toolkit more powerful than Tk.

My original justification for using Tkinter (from blog comments):

"I will probably eventually move to a richer toolkit (like wxPython) if I take this thing far. For right now, Tk works. It comes distributed with core python, it's super fast and light, it's easy to use, and I know it pretty well. Though it looks like crap and is limited in many ways."

As of today I am rewriting the GUI with wxPython, which uses the wxWidgets Toolkit.  This should give me the ability to create a rich cross-platform UI for my tool.

[For posterity] Here is what the original prototype of the Tk UI looked like:

R.I.P. Tk... Hello wxWidgets
