I worked with wxPython back when I was using Python 2.  I got impatient waiting for Phoenix when I switched to Python 3, so I started using PyQt as my GUI.  

I'm happy with PyQt.  I haven't created standalone executable files with it, though.  Do they necessarily have to be large?  I would think that well-written import statements would cut down on the file size.  Just import the objects you need, rather than the whole namespace.  PyQt is even organized in sub-modules, apparently to encourage you to refrain from importing everything.
