None of them.
All of them.
Confused?
That's because UI libraries are independent of the language used to
write the app. Dabo uses the wxWidgets UI toolkit, which is conveniently
wrapped with the wxPython module (http://wxpython.org/). There are also
wrappings for Perl (http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/) and Ruby
(http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl).
We could have also chosen the Qt toolkit (http://qt.nokia.com/) along
with either the PyQt or PySide wrappers; Ruby developers could use the QtRuby
binding.
Or maybe the GTK+ library (http://www.gtk.org/), with PyGTK (or Ruby
Gtk for Ruby devs).
