Subject: [python] GUI toolkits, revisited
Message-ID: <330532b60507092111eaca45a@mail.gmail.com>

Hey gang,

One of our Summer of Code projects for Mambo is an Admin fat client
interface, and it is going to be written in Python.

I'd like to ping everyone here with experience to sound off on the
different GUI toolkits, their pros and cons, and cross-platform
idiosyncrasies ;-)

If you were spending the summer writing a GUI for Mambo admin, and it
had to be really great cross-platform, what toolkit would you choose,
and why?

wxPython is really your only choice if you want to reasonably target  
all of the platforms with a single code base.  Everything else is  
either not available or totally screwed up on at least one important  
platform.
