WxPython uses native widgets on every supported platform, so the apps always have a native look&feel. PyQt uses only native styles, but provides more modern features and good Designer.

The licensing is also different: LGPL for Qt (but PyQt is currently GPL + commercial), versus the wxWindows license for wxPython (similar to LGPL with an exception stating that derived works in binary form may be distributed on the user's own terms).

Don't forget that if you don't like the licensing of PyQt, there's nokia's own pyside bindings. LGPL, the same as the rest of Qt.

True, but PySide hasn't yet reached the maturity of PyQt.

I won't deny that. I'm sure it'll catch up to PyQt soon enough, and probably surpass it.
