I choose to use PyQt5 for my apps that run on Linux, macOS and Windows.

You can see my apps code if you wish to see working examples:

	https://barrys-emacs.org <https://barrys-emacs.org/>
	https://scm-workbench.barrys-emacs.org/ <https://scm-workbench.barrys-emacs.org/>

In the past I had used wxPython but it had too many problems and it was cheaper for
me to port in PyQt5 then have to carry a lot of platform specific workarounds.

PyQt5 can target iOS and android.

With PyQt5 I can develop on Linux and have high confidence that the code will run the
same way on macOS and Windows.
