If you have patience and don't need it _now_, there seems to be two
alternatives in the future. Qt right now runs on Win (although it's commercial and __expensive__) and Linux, Gtk right now runs on *nix, BeOS and Windows-
ports are in production. The Gnome/GTK bindings for python are excellent,
don't know about the KDE/Qt bindings though. I think either one of them
or both will become the next generations standard GUI for (and not only )
Python RAD apps... now if I have said before, they need to grow a bit.
