I've used wxPython (www.wxpython.org) for a few GUI projects and
found it ok. It's a wrapper for the wxWidgets C++ library. There's
even a reasonable free GUI builder, wxGlade, which I use as I prefer
constructing GUI's that way rather than writing raw wxPython code.
Never tried any of the paid for GUI builders.
Disadvantage is the download page only provides builds for Python 2.6
or 2.7.
Does anyone know how Project Phoenix is coming on?
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/ItsAlive/ shows wxPython working with
Python 3.2.
Comments on how stable it is and how easy to install would be helpful.
I have been using Phoenix now for half a year and are very happy with
it. A release is on its way. For most platforms there are snapshot
builds which are easy to install.
See e.g.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wxpython-users/soHFLOrerVs/MSijBTQ6KAAJ
The snapshot installation does not include the demo and the .chm help
file (yet?). These and the book I found to be the most helpful
resources (much more usable than online reference documentation as
e.g. with Qt).
I think that wxGlade is the most promising Python GUI builder and I'm
confident that it will see improvements to increase usability. I have
tried some others from time to time, including also QtCreator, but
none was really convincing.

Qt and Qt Creator often come up in searches for Python GUI libraries. I
need to decide weather to upgrade to wxPython.Phoenix and Python 3.5 (as
soon as I upgrade to win 7!) or switch to Qt which I don't know at all.
It would be interesting to hear your experiences of trying Qt and why
you've stuck with wxPython in the end.
Thanks,
John
