  If you're using GNU/Linux, most of them would be installed
_by_default_ !

   You shouldn't forget PyGTK (http://pygtk.org).  Also try,
http://gnome.glade.org
search google for windows version of glade and pygtk
GTK is IMO the best Toolkit.  I (and others) also feel that wxWindows
(and thus wxPython) is buggy.  So you're just warned.  But go and
learn them.

  No deletions.  But there are/may be lot of additions. Google for
python to get enormous links.  Enter the query like
