Just to make this sound a bit less like FUD: my last experience with wxPython dates back a couple of years (2004/5?), but back then, we used BoaConstructor in a project, which crashed a bit too often to do real work with it - and with crashing I mean crashing Python, not just showing us its blank traceback. So this was definitely a problem either in wxWindows or in wxPython. I have no idea how well it works today, but this has definitely forged my opinion on wxPython. > Any suggestions on an alternative Python client-side GUI library (pyQT ?) > or tips on where I can find out more about wxPython/wxWidget problems? The only other GUI library I used was PyQT3. To me, it has proven to be very stable, pretty easy to use and feature rich. And from what I read about it, PyQT4 is supposed to be another lot better and has removed the few API quirks I found at the time (AFAIR, it finally returns plain Python strings from the API, for example).
