What's the best/neatest way to get Unicode data from a database into a grid cell?

Sadly wxpython doesn't work at all in Python 3.  There's a project
called Phoenix to move it across to Python 3 but it's nowhere near
stable yet, which is rather a pity.

So the question is do I stay with 2.7 and live with the Unicode
difficulties or do I try and move to another GUI that does work with
Python 3.  

Are there any Python 3 GUIs that would be reasonably easy to move to?
E.g. ones which have a grid object and which work in the same sort of
way as wxpython in general?
