I don't know what "kde and gnome desktop compatibility" means.
I'm unconvinced the KDEers and GNOMEans do, though I'm willing
to learn.  I find it exceptionally difficult to think of *any*
GUI toolkit as "standard", without considerable qualification.

The wxPythoneers are a good group.  From all I know, Tkinter
remains more broadly portable than wxPython.
