wxPython plays reasonably well.

I've just started playing with PyGTK+glade, and am highly impressed with 
that.

Ease of installation and use, wxPython is good. General OS X goodness, 
wxPython has been exhibiting highly weird behavior. Plus some useful 
widgets don't work well (if at all) on Mac.

wxWidgets also feels very old-Windows-ish. For example, it's built 
around having 1 toolbar for a window; for my application, that's not 
going to work so well, and I'm also having issues with some things 
related to dynamically creating toolbars and changing the toolbar.
