>From my point of view, PyQt is very good. Qt is very actively developed and maintained, and the PyQt binding is of very good quality, and fully documented. I have used personally for several cross-platform projects and it worked like a charm. I like Qt's approach and extensive documentation. I've found that it works both for complex GUI as for quick'n dirty. There is usually a widget to do just what I need so that I can focus on my application logic instead of on the GUI code. In short, usage of Qt has driven me to love it. When looking at the other guis, I always find that the documentation is under my expectations, or that that things are quite complex to set- up to get what you need.

Open source apps are free of charge. For professional developments, I bought the Qt license several times in the past because it was worth the time saved in my opinion. > 3) Isn't a pain to install on windows (GTK) You get it with Qt as well. I was able to use it even as a windows newbie. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
