You have 2 choices then wxWidgets or Qt. wx has also graphical editors like Glade (there is a wxGlade project) giving a xml description of a window and its cross platform. I know there are graphical for Qt but i dont know if theyre giving xml or are just code-generators. You could also do gui in Java or .Net and use python with their native interpreter (jython is a bit outdated but IronPython is "online") You can also use a local web app with one of cool Python'ish web frameworks -- id suggest TurboGears, but you can choose from many ill mention Django (which is i think the biggest rival for TG) On the other hand its a pity that there isnt much choice in cross platform (win mac lin) GUI platforms until now i was a great fan of GTK but there isnt a proper port for Mac. Its also a pity that no one didnt do something based on OpenGL with python (or maybe im wrong) it could be cool and really cross-platform. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
