Re: Python: PyQt, wxpython, or Tkinter?

Indeed, wxPython will be easier to package. It has a nice way to select which version of wx a script requires and is well adapted to large distributions.
For pyQt, you need to install MinGW, Qt4 and pyQt, the versions of Python and Qt are chosen for you by Riverbanks, if you're not happy you will have to compile everything yourself. Also, the Qt licensing scheme is a tricky one...

Might as well throw my two cents in as well...

Used Tk back when I was doing Perl and, hindsight being 20/20, I
probably won't be doing that anytime soon.

Wx is nice but I must admit I sometimes had issues getting to where I
wanted to go with it. It is much more than a UI toolkit and as such
makes for very portable apps.

Qt is my favorite. Well rounded framework that has a very consistent
API. Signal and Slots is a very intuitive way to connect things and it
fits my brain. My vote would go for QT. You'll need PyQt of course and
it is a pain that Riverbank have taken the Python 2.4 version of the
bindings from their web site. If that is an issue for you, I have the
bindings for Python 2.4 and Qt 4.1.4.
