Couple of points:
wxPython is very cross-platform, I've used the same program on Windows
and Linux and it looks fine on both.  The Mac OS X port appears to be
coming along very well.
wxPython is (deliberately) a thin wrapper of the C++ classes in the
wxWidgets package (used to be called wxWindows).  So it supports all
the platforms wxWidgets does.
And, yes, it's not pythonic; the wax package is supposed to fix that,
though I personally don't have experience with it.
