wxPython vs Glade?

[Michael Pobega]

I'm looking for opinions on the best toolkit for a beginner to use with
wxPython. It doesn't necessarily need to be the most efficient toolkit,
but something I can use for basic programs (a Twitter client, Wordpress
blogging client, etc) just to learn Python.

wxWidgets seems nice because it's portable, but I'm not sure how many of
my libraries are portable (a lot of them seem to import os), while Glade
seems extremely simple to make a UI (but does the program end up relying
on Glade? Or can I build it directly into GTK+?)

wxPython *is* a GUI toolkit (or, more exactly, a python binding for
wxWidgets).

Glade is a (graphical) GUI *builder* for the GTK+ toolkit - it' not a
toolkit itself. So you're comparing apples to gorillas.

FWIW, there is (was ???) a Glade-like graphical builder for wxWidgets
named wxGlade.

I usually just hand-code my apps in IDLE or Wing IDE. I recommend
joining the official wxPython mailing list regardless of what you pick
though as you'll likely pick up a LOT of helpful tips and tricks
there.
