[GUI] Good frameworks for Windows/Mac?

[Gilles]

Hello

I need to write a small GUI application that should run on Windows and
Mac.

What open-source framework would you recommend? I just need basic
widgets (button, listbox, etc.) and would rather a solution that can
get me up and running fast.

I know about wxWidgets and Qt: Are there other good options I should
know about?

Thank you.

Hey

you can build GUIs with tkinter <http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter>. Easy
but not as powerful than PyQt can be.
I think it is os agnostic.

Regards,
Jordi

Hi,
I mostly use wxPython myself, but if you just need some basic widgets
and not some very complex or non-standard layouts, the tkinter -
available in the standard library - might be perfectly viable.
http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/tk.html
The more recent versions of python also support ttk and Tix which has
further possibilities, styling etc.
There is further e.g. Python GUI

and several others

Thanks for the links. I'll play with Tkinter, and if it's not good
enough, check the alternatives.

Thank you.

Pyside is also Good. It has a Designer which can be helpful.
