And whenever I start to do so, my mind is stuck in complex modules, like TkInter is. *But*, SVG is the best answer for that. Generating SVG (by writing XML code) is really a great advantage for programming. Besides that, the code may be compatible between various programming languages. And, if some other format is needed, there is nothing easier than doing "convert image.svg image.png", for example. At the other side, I would really like to see more useful implementations of SVG viewers. AFAIK, by some features it is more advanced format than SWF. And it is free.
