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's for Python:

• Package	Target	Notes
  Platform-specific ("native")
  BeThon	BeOS
  MacPython	MacOS	Supports both OSX and OS9

  AnyGui	many	single source code runs on many GUI back-ends, including most others in this table, plus ncurses
  PyUI	OpenGL	Specialized GUI Toolkit for generating GUIs for OpenGL programs.

Anyone for a GuiProgrammingShootout?
