If so, how big are these advantages? I find the PyQt API very well designed and intuitive. You can easily write simple cross-platform apps in wxPython or PyQt, but wxPython tends to have sketchy support in some places. Trolltech tries really hard to smooth over all the platform differences, so I find it a bit cleaner. > > The great advantage of wxPython seems to be the huge community of > users and the large number of widgets/examples/applications available. > > Reformulating my question: > > Which GUI tool, wxPython or PyQt, is more pythonic?
