looking for gui for python code

hi
i have written some python scripts which take command line arguments
and do some job. i would like to make it into a .exe using py2exe and
distribute it with innosetup.. befor that i would like to add some GUI
support..i mean select some values using a folder explorer etc..which
would be a good gui builder for this? i have heard about guibuilder
from http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/ or is it better to use tkinter
(i have little experience with gui designing)

can someone give a suggestion?
TIA

Whatever you use, it has to have a Python binding. Spectcl may or may
not as you may be able to use it with the tkinter binding, but that is
doubtful. Most GUI toolkits have an existing app to look for files in
a directory, if that is what you are wanting to do. The following
link is to the GUI portion of the Python web site.

Check out Boa Constructor, SPE or PythonCard. I think they do that
sort of thing.

http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/
http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/

You might be able to use the Python plugin for Eclipse too.

I think wxWindows works extremely well but the learning curve is quite steep.
The upside is that it is cross-platform and there is virtually nothing you can't
write using wxPython/Windows. BTW-They hae an excellent newsgroup at:

gmane.comp.python.wxpython
