What's the gossip on these toolkits for Py3 ?

Thanks for that. I also checked out: http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxWidgets_Compared_To_Other_Toolkits which seemed surprisingly even-handed.

I couldn't see them either, so I'm glad to hear I wasn't hallucinating. Nobody mentioned gtk yet, perhaps because its "primary development and focus is for Unix, with multi-platform development mostly as an afterthought." Qt4 for windows is GPL, though its direct access to /dev/fb in linux (potentially important) is commercial and royalty dependent. > When I started out with Tkinter, I didn't find the docs to be any > better than what I found in wxPython.

But I'm coming to Python at the 3.0.1 version (from a perl5 background, as an alternative to perl6 which I'll evaluate when it's available) so I'm hanging out for those Py3 versions...
