One of the things that initially attracted me to Python was the built in Qt GUI libraries. Then I started to work with them. It’s not that they’re hard, they’re just time consuming, and end up looking “old”. It’s a nit, but it bugs me. I want my GUI’s to look native.

So, I started exploring the alternatives. The two big ones are wxPython and pyGTK. For now, I’m going to try and put some energy into wxPython, using this tutorial:

Getting Started – wxPython Wiki

I’m choosing wxPython based on the easily installed windows libraries, and a relatively good amount of online documentation.

Documentation is a big deal for me, I like to read. I’m actually pretty dissapointed in the wxPython docs, but it’s better then nothing.
