Some it includes, others it doesn't. And they come with different features.

While python comes with a lot of included batteries, for some things you
need a more powerful generator - that's where 3rd-party-libraries come into
play.

There are plenty of discussions about which GUI-toolkit is the best - google
this group.

However, mostly people agree that Qt is the most powerful, but often was
debunked because of it's licensing. This has changed to the much more
liberal LGPL for Qt4.5.

Now it might be though that you'd still need to buy a license from Phil
Thompson for his excellent PyQt-wrapping - but I'd personally say it's more
worth than it actually costs given the power of Qt.
