You can read the history of the discussions that led to wxPython on the GRASS WIKI.<BR>

Since we are talking about, why an interpretated language for the GUI and not, for example, QT-OpenSource (that is compiled, cross-platform, GPL and has also Python bindings)? It's not a critic, just curiosity ;-)<BR>

It is. But it also supports extension through binary modules<BR>
(libraries) written in e.g. C or C++.<BR>

<BR>
The vdigit module has a mixture of C++ and Python code. The C++ code<BR>
is compiled into a binary module (.so, .dll); you need to configure<BR>
with --with-wxwidgets, which needs wx-config to get the compilation<BR>
and linking switches for the C++ code.<BR>
