graphical python libraries

[bribaetz]

as far as python graphical libraries which is easiest to learn and as far as making simple calculator or word processor programs which is best i learned a little TKinter. but which is ultimately more convenient.

I have used both Tkinter and GTK and I have found both usable, though TK was far faster to build in. For a calculator you could probably get away with using whatever, since it would be very small and simple. A word processor (depending on complexity of course) is probably (again, depending on the complexity) beyond my ability to advise.

My wiki has several libraries listed for Python. wxPython is very good and easier than Tkinter, but better looking.

Description of a few (http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/928/)

Personally I think QT and wxWidgets would be fairly suitable for Python and they are both object-oriented and easy to read. In my opinion QT seems easier, though I haven't used wxWidgets in a while.

GTK is just as good as the other two mentioned, but I don't know if the Python bindings are object-oriented, also i've never used GTK since I'm a KDE fanboy so QT is the obvious choice for me.

wxPython is nearly as cross platform as Tkinter; I'd suggest looking into it once you're familiar with Tkinter. There are some small gotchas in wxPython, due to it largely being a straight mapping to the wxWidgets C++ library, but they're fairly easy to overcome.

How well does QT handle on Windows?
