I second dburdick on TKinter. Tcl/Tk hasn't been updated in a decade or so, Tkinter is unreliable when it comes to event handlng, please, please PLEASE go for wxPython! I've learned to hate Tkinter using Poser 5. Oh, and about DirectX vs OpenGL: OpenGL has been developed as an industry standard for the 3D professional. Not for games. OpenGL evolution has been agonizingly slow, due to the fact that a zillion parties had to have their say on the development. Hardware development has been much faster. DirectX on the other hand has developed fast enough to keep up with hardware developments - no slowdown due to partners - and has always been developed with the consumer market/gamer in mind. Totally different ballgame. Games use DirectX, 3D apps use OpenGL.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
