It would be a lot easier to learn Python. wxPython works now, without waiting 
for Rob or anyone else. I took about 10 minutes to look thru the wxWindows 
shared library and decided I had no interest in trying to connect to that with 
Euphoria.  In addition, since wxWindows uses GTK on Linux, there's no 
difference in appearance compared to programs written in plain GTK. 
Some of the complex wx controls are nice, but you could write your own 
as Euphoria includes if you really needed them. And a few of the wx controls, 
such as the calendar, are ugly compared to the GTK originals.
