I can attest to there being a good solid community behind wx that is very friendly. The wxPython framework is built on top of C++ wxWidgets code, but as far as I know, pyQT is built on top of the QT framework. So I'm not sure where this idea of "more layers" for wx comes from. I haven't messed with QT to know if it is faster or not. Hopefully someone else can weigh in on that. I also don't know which has more bugs. For what I've done though, I've never had a bug to deal with. I've created a fairly involved timesheet for my company that's a little unwieldy at the moment. I also have quite a few smaller applications in wxPython. I like it quite a bit. All the widgets I've ever needed are already implemented and when they aren't there, it always seems that one of the other developers releases one. I would recommend trying to create something small in each toolkit (like a minimal calculator) and see which one makes the most sense to you.
