Personnaly, I use PyQt simply because I prefere Qt to Gtk, witch is much more integrated with all desktop than Gtk. In fact, your application in Qt on Mac, Win or Linux look like a native app. Just a question of "feeling" I think; because most of those GUI framework, offer quiet the same functionality. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
