You need PyQt and/or PyKDE.

You can use pyuic DialogWhatever.ui > DialogWhatever.py to convert the
QtDesigner *.ui file to a python file.

Then you can import it into a PyQt app and use it like any other python Qt
class.

One warning, however: It's not as easily portable as Tkinter. On windows,
especially, it's pretty much only usable if you've bought the full Qt
Commercial verson. The free version of Qt/Win only goes up to version 2.3.

Boa-constructor is alpha still, but usable to make wxPython apps in a RAD
environment.

PythonCard was another alternative, but I'm not sure if it's still being
maintained.

Hope that helps!

cya,
Eric
