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

Hello all, I've been using PythonCard to build a GUI for a simple program I'm trying to write. It's simple and easy to use, and rather intuitive. However, it seems that it hasn't been updated in some time, and so I would like a recommendation for a cross-platform (preferably) GUI builder. I'm

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

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
