[Pythonmac-SIG] GUI tools--for Troy

Troy,

I read your note about switching to Linux with interest. I was curious
about a couple of things:

1. What xplat GUI building tools and IDE are available on Linux that are
*not* available on OS X? I realize WingIDE may satisfy the IDE part of
this, but what about the GUI part? The free/open-source tools that I
package are also the main ones that are available on Linux. They may run
more smoothly there, but they're pretty much the same.

2. Did you look at PyQt at all? I have trouble believing that Qt, and
especially Qt Designer, would *not* satisfy your criteria for
commercial-quality tools. Of course, Qt isn't cheap for commercial
development, and perhaps that's an issue, but I think it should satisfy
your critiera for high-quality, well-supported tools.



Cheers,
