Comparision of GUI framworks

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I've read the chapter in the Python documentation, but I'm interested in a a
more in-depth comparision. Especially regarding how pythonic it is and how
well it performs and looks under Windows.
I've some C++ experiences with Qt, so I'm very interested to have PyQt
compared to wxWindows and Tk. How fast does PyQt catches up with the
versiones released from Trolltech? etc..

Thx,
Florian

I would ask this question on the pyqt/pykde mailing list... but, for
what's its worth, I've been using PyQt (on Linux) for > 4 years, and am
very happy with it. I find it very "Pythonic". When I first started
looking at UI toolkits, the decision came down to wx vs. Qt. I found wx
a bit more complex and cryptic and less OO than Qt. Also, I find Qt
Designer + Eric to be a nicer development environment than Boa
Constructor. The main problem with Qt is apparently licensing issues on
Windows... I can't comment since I only use PyQt/Qt on Linux.
