I would ask this question on the pyqt/pykde mailing list... but, for 
what's its worth, I've been using PyQt (on Linux) for > 4 years, and am 
very happy with it. I find it very "Pythonic". When I first started 
looking at UI toolkits, the decision came down to wx vs. Qt. I found wx 
a bit more complex and cryptic and less OO than Qt. Also, I find Qt 
Designer + Eric to be a nicer development environment than Boa 
Constructor. The main problem with Qt is apparently licensing issues on 
Windows... I can't comment since I only use PyQt/Qt on Linux.
