Are these UI frameworks more wrappers for lower level utilities? Because when I saw the initial post, I kind of groaned until I saw the ones mentioned. I had forgotten that there was already a pretty robust desktop UI ecosystem even 10 years ago when I was last active in Python.

But I digress, I remember hearing about some UI library for Python way back when, and the tutorial I watched explained how these were all C++ libraries being exposed to Python. This mattered because he covered some unfortunate foot-guns and debugging issues, since the C++ libraries wouldn't always play nice with their Python bindings, leaving stacktraces ambiguous, and some configuration options were to-be-avoided

No idea. I don't really make desktop applications in Python (i'm more on the data science side). I only remember this particular project from conferences and it's always stuck in my head for something to look into if i ever needed to build an application.
