I'm looking for a GUI toolkit/framework to create applications that run on Mac Snow Leopard and preferably other systems(Windows, Linux).
Deal breakers:
As far as I know Tkinter runs X11 and wxWidgets and PyQT do not run 64 bit.
Is there anything usable for good looking Mac applications?
[edit] http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming Lists a lot of unusable stuff, but has a few interesting ones. Lucid... rings a bell, but the site has nothing about Python whatsoever. PyGUI, looks like a cool one-man project, just like uxpython.
It seems QT, WX and TK are really the big ones... All of them might have 64 bit or Cocoa ports in a few years, but a the moment none of them seems to run out of the box.
[edit]
So far there is no perfect solution.
I'm not yet sure which to use, but I accepted PyQT for now.
Tkinter is a pure GUI library, not a framework. There is no built-in support for GUIs driven from data sources, databases, or for displaying or manipulating multimedia or hardware. However, if you need to make something simple that doesn't require any additional dependencies, Tkinter may be what you are looking for.
thenPyQt comes with many powerful and advanced widgets. TkInter does not come with advanced widgets. 5. PyQt have a Qt Designer tool which we can use to build GUIs than get python code of that GUI using Qt Designer.
There are many graphical user interface (GUI) toolkits that you can use with the Python programming language. The big three are Tkinter, wxPython, and PyQt. Each of these toolkits will work with Windows, macOS, and Linux, with PyQt having the additional capability of working on mobile.
Maybe PyQt works on Snow Leopard 64 bits. Look at this link and try it.
