Hello,
I'm just curious about whether someone
worked already with pygtk and can
tell us the opinion about it and
in comparision with wxPython.
I don't want to entice the people here of course! :)
But looking at the well written tutorial, which
explains every widget and has a methodical order,
it is a complete book.
(pygtk2-tut.pdf)
Also the sum of widgets is impressive
and for example the approach of the tree view
widget together with the treem model is interesting.
I came to this, because I tried to start convert
a pygtk app (XPN) to wxPython; at least parts of the application.
Although XPN is well written, the reimplemenation of it in
wxPython is is a tough task.
I want to do it in first line to learn more about
wxPython.
There are also some controls, where I cannot find any
counterpart as the gtk.Expander (it is like a small treecontrol).
Maybe a toggle button could be used here.
Also the text view widgets looks very efficient.
But here we have the styled text control.

Hello,

I think that PyGTK is much more easier to use, has more clean API,
more widgets and better documentation than wxPython.

But it has a serious drawback as its look and feel is alien on win32
(and probably MS) platform. Even with the XP theme. That's why I
think that it is better to use wxPython for cross-platfrom
applications.

If the application is Unix-specific, I'd prefer PyGTK.
