I've found wxPython to be the best all-around choice: it looks right on Mac, Win and Gtk/Linux, as it uses native controls. The one downside is that its C++ roots show, and make for somewhat ugly and unPythonic code. I've been using the Dabo framework (http://dabodev.com) for over a year now, and it's great. They use wxPython for the UI, but wrap it in a consistent and intelligent layer that makes development much simpler and straightforward. -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
