I'm using wxPython, after very brief forays into Tk and Qt, and I like it a lot. wx generally wraps the native widgets of whatever OS/desktop it runs on, and its idiom felt more comfortable to me than the others. Also, unlike Qt, it's free... I hate to be a cheapskate, but I'm a very small busines

Thanks for all the help, Dabo looks interesting, but perhaps a bit overkill right now for what I have in mind. Certainly something useful to learn in the long run, though. I suppose with any GUI toolkit/builder, you're going to have learn some part of the API anyway. I might just see how I go with

When running local, the flex/xmlrpc solution is just as responsive as a traditional GUI app in my experience with regards to data loading, etc. The network/python latency isn't especially noticeable when running the GUI local to the flex UI. I didn't really get caught up on a difference between th

While some people are Adobe haters("They hate the web...etc"), I think a slick alternative available now is Flex2 calling python via XMLRPC. I've been doing so lately. It is fast to pick up and makes slick looking GUI's rather quickly. It has a cheap GUI builder that actually works if you don't fe
