What platform-independent GUI toolkits exist for Python?
========================================================
-Depending on what platform(s) you are aiming at, there are several.

Standard builds of Python include an object-oriented interface to the Tcl/Tk
-widget set, called Tkinter. This is probably the easiest to install and use.
-For more info about Tk, including pointers to the source, see the Tcl/Tk home
-page at http://www.tcl.tk. Tcl/Tk is fully portable to the MacOS, Windows, and
-Unix platforms.

-There are bindings available for the Qt toolkit (`PyQt
-<http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/>`_) and for KDE (`PyKDE <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pykde/intro>`__). If
-you're writing open source software, you don't need to pay for PyQt, but if you
-want to write proprietary applications, you must buy a PyQt license from
-`Riverbank Computing <http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk>`_ and (up to Qt 4.4;
-Qt 4.5 upwards is licensed under the LGPL license) a Qt license from `Trolltech
-<http://www.trolltech.com>`_.
