I've used Tkinter for cross platform development with great success
for years, but recently I've been playing with pyGTK (and the
libraries it is built upon: GTK+, glade-2 and libglade), and
I like the results very much.  

PyGTK works on both window and Linux/Unix, Comparing the two, it seems
that PyGTK produces GUI's which look much better, and are *much* more
responsive.  And the GUI building tool, glade-2, is *very* easy and
convenient to work with.


New version have just come out in the last several days, so look for
and install the latest.
