To me, the appearant lack of a good and easy-to-use multi-column tree widget was a showstopper to diving deeper into wxPython, though. I decided to use PyGTK for now, which I'm a bit more familiar already and which I know has a multi-column tree good enough for me (and I found it easy to add inline-editing too). I don't know how good PyQT is on windows; other than that, in my opinion PyGTK gives the best / most complete GUI for Python with reasonable ease-of-programming.

Ahem - not strictly true - that should read "there is nothing better for wxPython". Not being pedantic, it's just not true to say nothing better is available for python. Qtdesigner seems about on a par with the GUI design in Microsoft's Visual Studio software to me.

I am not sure if 'aum' meant this, but I let wxGlade generate the event methods for me in 'myapp_ui.py' and then override them in 'myapp.py'. You have full control over the code in your own 'myapp.py' and you rarely have to mess with 'myapp_ui.py' so you can let wxGlade keep control of that file. wxGlade does not support GridBag sizers, which is a shame, but otherwise its support for sizers is good. I find it easy to use sizers in wxGlade. Pythoncard does not yet support sizers and I have never been able to get Boa's sizers to work consistently. wxGlade is a bit flaky on Windows but if you save often then it is OK. I was unsure about it at first, but now I like wxGlade's notion of not being a full-up IDE as it lets me choose the rest of the tool chain. wxGlade will play happily with anything: vim, emacs, Eclipse/Pydev, etc...

I use wxGlade all the time, and find it's great. My only complaint is that there are some controls it doesn't know about, such as wx.HtmlWindow, and I have to add these controls in wxGlade as 'custom' controls. But to me, that's pretty minor. To get the best out of wxGlade, you really need to subclass the classes that wxGlade generates. Don't look to wxGlade to write your app for you. It's there for gui structure (the 'view'), and it's up to you to flesh out the 'controller' side. So I'd recommend you persist with wxGlade - subclass all the classes that wxGlade generates, and add your own methods to handle events, set up the gui as you want, and (in some rare cases) do some extra initial bindings. I typically set wxGlade to generate a file called 'myapp_ui.py', and I write my own 'myapp.py', in which I 'import myapp_ui', then subclass the wxGlade-generated classes in 'myapp_ui'. Works a treat for me, and saves a lot of time compared to hand-coding the GUI. -- Cheers aum -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Try PythonCard. It's based on wxPython, and it's more higher level than Boa. Very simple and very easy to learn and use. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: wxPython GUI designer
Take a look at pythoncard , we use it to produce database frontends , but apparently it also can be used for simple graphics apps and others. However if you are used to things like the Delphi IDE to build a gui app , then prepare to shed lots of tears before overcoming the initial disbelieve, that there is nothing better available for python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It's a visual design tool, and it can help you to learn how to manage wx classes. It works on windows and linux as well. My understanding of wxglade is that you need skills about sizers to be confident with it. So if you know how to use sizers, you don't really need a tool.

Are there any good commercial project built with wx ? I am a newbie and a have to write a small application in Python.
