GUI Programming

[Gabriel]

Hello,

I'm python newbie and i need to write gui for my school work in python.
I need to write it really quick, because i haven't much time .)
So question is, which of gui toolkits should i pick and learn? I heard
PyGTK and Glade are best for quick gui programming? Is it good for
beginner? Or is there something better?
I have some experience with java swing, btw..

Tkinter is built-in, why not start there?

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.mainloop()

pygame may work for you (sdl doesn't work on my compaq though so test
the examples befour reading the manual)... most of the other ones are
going to be "ugly".. If what you want is realy simple and pygame
doesn't work for you may want pycap (a gaming system with python
embeded) .. What do you need it to do?? just simple buttons???

I've never used it, but I've heard good things about PythonCard.

I definitely need some kind of treeview, text area to represents text
(hexa strings .)), buttons, maybe some kind of menu..

I find PyQt the most pleasant to work with. It has a consistent, well
thought out, sophisticated API. WxPython I find the least pleasant to work
with. I particularly dislike the way it does layout, and it has a hodge
podge of APIs. But it's what I use professionally because of the liberal
license. For those using PyGtk, I'd definitely recommend trying Kiwi.

If it's only the lack of antialiasing that's bothering you, don't
worry -- I'm pretty sure that the next minor Python release finally
fixes that ( http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/wiki/Screenshots ).

Read more about it here:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ttk.html

or, for Python 3:
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/tkinter.ttk.html

Tkinter is fast and easy.
