Of course there are also:

- Swing (Unix)
- Mozilla/XUL Runner (???)
- GnuStep (Unix) [This lets you use most of the OS X UI on Unix and 
Windows]
- PyGame (Unix?)
- OpenGL (and PyUI wrapper)
- Whatever the Eclipse widget layer is called
- etc.

What you use depends largely on what your needs are.  If you're windows 
developers who want to port to Mac, wx is your friend.  If you develop 
in Smalltalk, Squeak brings it's own UI wherever you go.  If you want 
to develop kick-ass Mac apps, PyObjC is the only game in town (in my 
opinion).  If you want to be all things to all people, I'd suggest 
taking a good long hard look at Mozilla and XUL (one of their goals is 
to support Python as a first-class language for XUL-based 
applications).
