"(...) wxPython would indeed be a better choice if your applications are only to run on a certain infamous legacy operating system from the Pacific Northwest. The PyGTK is a better choice if you are writing for Linux and want your application to also be able to run on windows. (...)" Apr 25 11. "(...) I'm using wxPython because GTK for windows wasn't ready three years ago when I initially had to write my first Windows application. If I evaluated both of them again today, I might choose GTK, and I might not." Apr 27 In the nearest future I will have to decide what to use: PyGTK or wxPython. I like those both APIs. wxPython has more widgets, but PyGTK seems to be faster. I can use them both for free (it's very important). My only concern is that although I'm doing development on Linux, I'd like to make my application runnable on Windows as well (Py2Exe). I'd like to choose PyGTK (because of its rich documentation), but I'm not sure if PyGTK is stable on Windows... For now I know that wxPython runs well on Windows. For now I haven't experienced any problems with wxPython on Linux (Slackware, Aurox /Polish RH-like distro/). I used wxPython on Linux, but I stopped because of its poor documentation (mainly C++ docs, not Python docs). But recently I noticed this documentation got better (*much* better!). How well does PyGTK run on Windows (98, 2K, XP)? How stable is it? Will I be able to make an executable (using Py2Exe) of an application that uses PyGTK? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
