okay, python is not stupid but the indentation thing drove me crazy the last time I tried to develop in it... also I spent a week bashing my head against pyGame and eventually gave up and learned the sdl library for C++ because despite the fact that it's "harder" at least it makes sense to my brain.

edit: I also went from knowing that perl was a programming language to being able to manipulate images in GD in less time and with fewer headaches then python gave me.

Really? Python's indenting has never given me trouble.

To me, Python's indenting-based blocks force you to do what you should have been doing anyways. It's only painful if you have a bad text editor with messy tabbing behavior.

Alternately, there's Ruby + RubyGame + Ruby2exe. Never used it, but Ruby is basically Python's nerdy Japanese stepbrother. Less intuitive syntax, but also simpler and more logical.... and prettymuch mirrors Python in most other aspects.

this QT stuff apparently let's me have my "borderless" windows so it's going to be the primary target of my investigations at this juncture.
