Don't think it's the most popular, but I think it may be the one which works for quite a lot of different platforms, PyQt, works fine on my desktop as cellphone. -- //Aho

I'd guess at Tkinter - it's part of the standard library. Another quite popular option is PyGtk. Other good ones include wxPython, PyQt, and PySide.

Lots of choices - you could try Jython as well, then you have access to all the Java GUI framework :-) Personally, I have used Tkinter, PMW (Widgets built on Tkinter) - all of my GUI stuff to date is written using these. I have tried WxPython - I found it quite difficult to learn, but this was quite some years ago now and perhaps there are some easy books that will help you ease into it. I am currently experimenting with PyQt - I have Mark Summerfield's book, "Rapid GUI Programming with Python and Qt" - very readable book. Now that the Qt license is more friendly to the "hobbyist" I think I will switch all of my GUI work over to PyQt. There are so many these days (just look at the Python wiki page on GUIs) that you can't really try them all - just not enough hours in the day. I would suggest you have a quick browse of what's available and then select one or two to focus on. Most are pretty well "portable" between multiple platforms - but realistically I have never used anything other than a Windoze platform cross-platform compatibility may not be such a big deal. I would strongly recommend reading the Python Wiki page on GUI programming: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming Peter

The Python standard library comes with one, Tkinter <URL:http://docs.python.org/library/tkinter.html>. Recently the Tix extension is also available in the standard library <URL:http://docs.python.org/library/tix.html> bringing much richer and better-looking widgets to Tk. -- \ “Dvorak users of the world flgkd!” —Kirsten Chevalier, | `\ rec.humor.oracle.d | _o__) | Ben Finney |
