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
  Win32All	Windows	Also known by the names of its components: PythonWin (for the UI), Win32Com (for COM/ActiveX), Win32 (for some other parts of the API)
  ["venster"]	Windows	[http://venster.sf.net Venster] is a highly native Windows GUI toolkit for Python based on the ctypes ffi library. The aim of Venster is to be a very lightweight wrapper around the standard Win32 API, making it easy to write slick windows applications in pure Python.
  Portable
  TkInter	Tk	Python's "standard" GUI library
  WxPython	WxWindows	supports Windows/Unix/Mac for now - visit http://www.wxwindows.org
  Wax	WxWindows	A wrapper to WxPython, easier and more "pythonic"
  PythonCard	WxWindows	Both a framework and GUI builder. Can include wxPython code in PythonCard apps
  ["Jython"]	Java (swing)
  PyGtk / PyGnome	Gtk / Gnome
  PyQt	Qt
  ["PyKDE"]	Qt / KDE	Python wrappers for the [http://www.kde.org/ KDE] libraries
  PyFltk	FlTk	supports Windows/Unix/Mac - visit http://pyfltk.sourceforge.net
  FxPy	FOX
  PyPicoGUI	[http://picogui.org/ PicoGUI]	python library is included in the main PicoGUI release
  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?

GUI builders:

• IDE	Target	Notes
  BoaConstructor	WxPython	GPL, Alpha, but starting to mature. Useful for debugging wxPython code!
  BlackAdder	PyQt	Commercial, $50-400
  PythonWorks	TkInter	Commercial, $400 for single licence.
  PythonCard	PythonCard, WxPython	Python License. Alpha.
  WxDesigner	WxPython	Commercial Student EUR 29, Single user EUR 129
  WxGlade	WxPython	MIT License, Alpha.
