Web browser "widgets" seem pretty limited to me, though. You don't even
have something as simple as a combo box (i.e. an editable entry with a drop
down), let alone the rich set of widgets something like wxwidgets offers.
Also web development doesn't seem as coherent to me as development with a
good GUI framework.
I think it depends on your target audience. Many people love simplicity.
wxPython has an HTML control that lets you do most of your UI web-like and just drop in the other wxWidgets kinds of controls here and there if you need to. The html control does most of the rendering and such, and you can do most of the user interaction with standard clickable links, etc, but you can also mix in the full boat of high-powered gizmos to perplex the users when you run out of other tactics and annoyances.
Is it pretty? As a conglomerate with features of a desktop app and features of a browser-based app, it's kind of pretty like a platypus. Platypus, penguin, or python, there's many a way to lay an egg.
