Choosing your Python GUI - wx, Qt, Tk or GTK?

Python has no fewer that 4 GUIs (Graphics User Interfaces) in quite common use ... but none of them could be described as "prevelant", and in in case only a small proportion of Python users are making use of a GUI at all. It's always been an issue as to which Graphic User Interface (if any) we should teach on our public Python training courses, if any ... and we're just in the process of "finetuning" the presentation with a new module added to our courses entitled "GUIs and Graphics in Python". This modules overviews the principles of a GUI, and includes a short, practical example of each in use, taken from the each of the four modules we have which relate to the individual GUIs:

Y204 for Tkinter
Y206 for Qt
Y207 for wx
Y209 for GTK

The "GUI and Graphics" module also looks at data plotting modules such as Pylab and MatPlotLib, and web GUI presentation through HTML, and via Django. Brief, honourable mention still for Zope and Plone ... and we'll help you sort out what BlueBream is too.
