I have used both wyPython and PyQt and to be honest, at the time there wasn't much difference. PyQt is a little more powerfull but the syntax and "style" is imho almost the same.
If you wan't to use Python3 you should use PyQt since wxPython has no stable release for Python3 and is afaik discontinued. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Personally, I use gtk-based desktop (Xfce) and I like it, but would like to write general-purpose desktop open-source application capable to run on Linux, Mac & Windows. I cannot speak about wx's API (un)friendliness and/or platform-specific bugs, but my main concern is that wxWidgets project does not have many active developers... Of course, PyQt is, afaik, mostly one-man show, similar to wxpython and tireless work from Robin Dunn, but, otoh, Qt has much bigger development community. What do you think about my concern in regards to this dilemma and/or some other relevant point to decide properly[1] ? Let me add that I also plan to use Cython (for speed purposes of project's back-end functionality), as well as to use Python3. [1] my project will be done in my spare time, so I'd like to avoid learning and coding in the 'wrong' toolkit which is not properly developed/maintained. Sincerely, Gour -- Bewildered by the modes of material nature, the ignorant fully engage themselves in material activities and become attached. But the wise should not unsettle them, although these duties are inferior due to the performers' lack of knowledge. http://www.atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810 _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
