There are also wxDesigner for wxPython/wxWindows and Glade for the

If you use Qt you will need the Qt library and the python bindings.
If you use wxPython you need the wxWindows library and the python
bindings.  If you use GTK+ you will need the GTK+ library and the
python bindings.  It's more or less the same, though the size of the
libraries may differ.  The main issue with using Qt is licenseing.
wxPython/wxWindows and PyGTK/GTK+ are both free (open) so there is no
licensing issues.
