I'm no expert on GUIs but I've just picked wxPython via the age old

I have a free cross-platform Python GUI application that has to run on
Mac and linux. It is presently written in Tkinter, but for various
reasons* it may be time to switch.
I've heard many good things about wxpython and qt, but not used either,
and am wondering if somebody could tell me if either (or both) would
meet the following needs:
- Reliable on mac and linux. (I see that wxpython now runs under Cocoa
but I've not seen any reports on how well that went.)
I can't comment but there's bound to be data on either the wxpython
development or users mailing lists.
- Compatible with matplotlib.
Demo here looks good

- Able to display (grayscale) images with arbitrary zoom. I currently
use PIL with Tkinter's Canvas widget for this.
- Compatible with a sound library for playing sound cues. I presently
use pygame for this and have been considering switching to PySDL.
- Compatible with Twisted Framework.
- Prediction is hard, but indications of a long-term future would be a
definite bonus.
From wxpython.org "(25-Dec-2013) wxPython (classic) 3.0.0.0 has been
released. No new features but lots of bug fixes in wxWidgets and of
course the bump (finally!) up to 3.0." See also
http://wiki.wxpython.org/ProjectPhoenix which is the port of wxpython to
support Python 3. I'm not sure when it will be released by I believe
we're talking months.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
