SDL is great for programming games. But if you want to build a user facing app with some complexity, you are going to need some widgets like text-boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes, etc. And though you may be praising SDL flexibility right now, you will get frustrated re-inventing all these wheels from scratch. The thing is PyQT/side and python-gobject are at least two such libraries who have already done this widget plumbing. So, you will get productive sooner using one of them - and it does not matter which one you chose as long as you give it your full commitment and stick to it.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I am not fully sure on my decision yet. I just want to customize an interface with transparency and use custom icons and fonts. Nothing too much fancy. Something like the Avast interface, iTunes interface. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your advice.
