One thing that hasnt been mentioned by the other posters is that pyQT does
not ofer full functionality under Windows. Last time I checked the only free
QT available on windows was 2.X, while on linux you can use QT 3.X.
widget-wise, QT2 is a lot weaker than the other toolkits.

I personally settle on wxWindows. I will not say I like it. I am used to
SWING and wxWindows is painful to use. But it works as well on all supported
platforms.
