The OP didn't exactly detail what exactly was being looked for just "python on windows" basically. So that part still hasn't been answered... As far as wxPython, that is not LGPL, it is wxPython/wxWidgets which is fine for licensing your compiled app as however you want. Modifications to the library stuff for example is good in the fact with this that most all improvements(to the library-stuff) eventually work their way back in or have to be released GPL v2. One would have to tool through the PySide agreement for their specifics, but as I recall it is exactly the same as Qt is, which makes sense. Riverbank/PyQt is not Qt, they are a separate entity, just to make that clear. The reason PySide was made was because Riverbank didn't want to license their bindings that same as Qt basically. A lot depends on what you intend to do with "the" app and how many hoops you are willing to jump through license wise. Just because a library is LGPL doesn't mean the authors code has to be depending on the circumstances. That just means usually you have to be able to provide the library code(and your mods to it) used. If the author doesn't care about releasing his/her own source code, then just about any toolkit would be at the same level of "python on windows" for the most part. It all depends on what the target for the app is. "Windows desktop?", "Windows Phone?", "MSW XBox?", etc... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
