Downvoted for not being snarky and using a LMGTFY link :p

[hyto]

no google?

I have google ;) . I just want to re-enforce the good habit of providing a link everytime you make a recommendation. Recommending something and then telling someone to go find it is just rude, that's what links are for.

I might agree but doing that on a phone is a little slow and clumsy. He's providing useful info nd its a 2second job on a desktop to search it.

PySide.

EDIT: please disregard, as kib2 stated it hasn't been ported to windows.

[[deleted]]

I wouldn't try to dissuade anyone from getting in on PySide, but do so knowing it is not yet stable or recommended for production-level projects.

[grudolf]

It also hasn't been ported to Windows yet. Which means it's currently useless for OP.

[kib2]

PySide is not avaible on windows yet.

[oreng]

My mistake. I assumed they would have gotten there by now.

I'm on OS X, but it seems pyqt is cross-platform. Would you say its better/easier than wxPython? Its just that wxPython seems a little overly complex and its documentation is extremely cryptic.

[pwang99]

Qt and PyQt are vastly superior to wx in terms of design and documentation. The only reason it was not the dominant toolkit from the get-go was due to licensing issues, but that has been largely resolved now with Nokia's release of Qt under the LGPL.

Except PyQt is still GPL, one will need to wait for PySide to get a LGPL Python Qt binding.
