I have an application[1] written in pyGTK and I'm thinking to move to mayavi
(using the visual api) for the 3d visualization. Right now the program is
using a visual python to accomplish the task, however there is a big issue
with the threads. I would like to integrate the mayavi window in a bigger
application (and another req is to pick the object to give back to the user
some info).

Now, given the fact there is no GTK (which has a nice licence...) backend
and no plan to deploy one, should I port the application to qt library or to
wxpython library (or hope in a GTK backend.... )

My application integrate also some matplotlib integration, using pylab, but
matplotlib support Wx and Qt backend as well so it should be a smooth
transition here.

What do you suggest?

Regards,
Michele.
