PyGTK vs. wxPython

Hi all...

I think wxPython is much better than PyGTK. First of all, PyGTK needs
the GTK runtime installed, whereas wxPython is entirely Python's
modules, so It facilitates the apps' distribution. Also, PyGTK uses
specific controls or widgets of GTK, while wxPython uses native
controls of the platform where the app is running.

I'm learning both, but at a slow step, so I want to know all the
comments about this subject in this group.

I heard about Glade to make the graphic layout of the app and then
export it as XML. Then, it connects to PyGTK. The problem I see is that
What if you want to refer to a state of a specific radiobutton of a
radobutton's group? It seems to be very troublesome.

Please, post any comments about the pros and cons of each library, and
the proper way to construct the graphic layout (generating XML through
Glade, or by hand-code). Thanks.

Daniel
