• Works with standard Python Tkinter GUI library (and no need to install other libraries)
• Abstracts away details new learners find difficult to understand (such as Tkinter StringVar() objects)
• Accessible widget naming system to help new learners to build up a mental model
• Flexible enough to be used for projects up to A-Level standard, yet accessible to primary school children
• Comprehensive and accessible documentation with examples
• Generates helpful additional error messages
