I recommend Tkinter. By itself, Tkinter is too basic (it only supports buttons, labels, frames, and so on), but if you add extension packages such as Tablelist (for data display), Tile (for platform-native theming), and TkTreeCtrl (for tree views), it can produce GUI's that are just as rich as those available from wx or Qt. Here are some links for more info: Tile: http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile Tile for Tkinter: http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TileWrapper Tablelist: http://www.nemethi.de/ Tabelist for Tkinter (with Tile support): http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TableListTileWrapper Tktreectrl: http://tktreectrl.sourceforge.net/ Treectrl for Tkinter: http://klappnase.zexxo.net/TkinterTreectrl/index.html All these libraries are open-source and available under commercial-friendly terms (BSD-style licenses). I make heavy use of Tile and Tablelist in my applications. Tktreectrl is incredibly powerful, but is also quite complex, and I have not used it myself in an application. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
