I too have had good results with wxwidgets when developing a GUI. The
cross-platform native look and feel was a major benefit from my point
of view allowing screens to "look native" under different OSs with no
code changes.

Not so good if your native Linux look is KDE. ;) I also hate the fact
that the GTK File Save/Open dialog box does not allow file/folder
renames. On Windows, however, wxPython is great. I guess it depends
on how big your application is and what is the target audience/
clientele.

Ok you only guess, but ...
... you're suggesting
- that if the application is too big, wxPython is not a good choice.
What's big ?

is wxPython not suited ?

My very first GUI application ever was a wxPython Windows
application. You can get it from here if you like: http://rmcorrespond.googlepages.com/..._1_0b1_exe.zip
Source Code: http://rmcorrespond.googlepages.com/...1.0_Source.zip
(Keep in mind that I was just learning at the time, so I am not
particularly proud of the code, and I am sure most of it is deprecated
by now.)
You can say that wxPython was my first love as far as GUI development
goes. I still think it is awesome because it is very rich and
mature. But, coding with it is not as clean as it could be. There is
a lot of boiler plate code needed. And I find it a lot less
'Pythonic' than other alternatives.
If I was just going to code a small (and I mean small) GUI app for
Windows (and possibly for Gnome) I would look into PythonCard. It
uses wxPython in the background, but it provides a much nicer API.
Unfortunately, not all the power of wxPython is available that way.
(Although you can drop down to straight wxPython if needed.)
An example of a PythonCard application I wrote (for Windows) can be
obtained here: http://rmcorrespond.googlepages.com/...me_1_0_exe.zip
Source Code: http://rmcorrespond.googlepages.com/...1.0_Source.zip
My needs were covered between the two options above. However, two
things were bugging me. First, I wanted a better (faster) development
environment. It had to be free since all I code is Free as well. The
ones I had tried for wxPython were not cutting it. And second, in
Linux, I prefer KDE. So, I wanted something that was native to KDE.
When Trolltech released QT as a GPL toolkit I figured I would give it
a try.
What I found was very eye opening. The API was beautiful and
intuitive. The tools and IDE (Eric, QT Designer, etc.) were more
along the lines of what I was looking for. So, I became a QT
believer. Unfortunately, my work circumstances have changed and I
haven't done any more GUI programming since then. (I am a Django
coder now. :) But, if I was going to do another GUI coding project
today, I would go with QT. So, you can see where I am coming from.
Your needs may vary.
