Thanks Sridhar. I had tried the link earlier as well. According to them wxpython is the best one for me. However, from my short experience I have noticed the wxpython applications (at least on Windows) take very long (3 - 7 seconds) to come up. Example is the well known Wing IDE. Not only that, they are also not very responsive and remind me of some Java Swing applications. Every time they come up...its bound to make the rest of the computer unresponsive (that might be because the Java runtime is coming up...).
There is no real good option for commercial development in Python in my view right now...and i am frantically searching for one !!! Fox, FLTK are not completely safe due to the LGPL license clauses. WxPython is not very good at responsiveness, and the API is not simple enough. Qt is not free, and the free distribution is not for commerical development easygui is not good enough for applications that are going to have long lifetimes. PythonCard comes without a GUI designer. Atleast I could not find one on their website. So the options left are: a) Use IronPython to get all the Windows Forms stuff b) Use PythonWin and use MFC to build the GUI c) Use the Embedded Websever approach and make the web browser as your GUI host. d) Use Delphi to create the GUI and use P4D for connecting to Python. I am most interested in option C, because thats the least dependent on other language bindings etc etc. Option d also looks attractive, after working with PyScripter for sometime, but I dont know Pascal/Delphi and dont own an IDE for the same. But its available only for Windows. Ideas welcome :) Thanks and best regards, Vishal On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 10:30 PM, Sridhar Ratnakumar < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.awaretek.com/toolkits.html > > On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 4:36 AM, Vishal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We would like to use a GUI framework with our Python code. > > Any pointers by actual users of a GUI framework in Python.
