Note: This section is rather incomplete. Don't be too disappointed if you can't find the information you need, but please add any information you can contribute.

Todo: Would it be useful to have information about the GUIs and development tools in a fixed format to make them more easily comparable (see WebProgrammingTemplate and WebProgrammingTemplateHelp). Some categories: directly supported widgets, addon widgets, layout managers, ...

Maybe it could answer the questions in ChoosingGuiToolkits for each toolkit?

Some available GUI toolkits for Python:
