I think it may look/act more "native" than the others. It has also had good support for multiple platforms for a long time. For whatever reason, it seems to the more popular choice for commercially distributed Python apps. Getting Tkinter to look and act like a "native" app takes a lot of effort, and sometimes is just not possible. Distributing Tkinter apps is a PITA. Even trivial apps tend to turn into large bundles because you're including all of TCL with them. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
