I've been using wxPython with the GTK implementation of WxWindows, and
like it a lot.  Mostly I've just been playing with toy applications, but
it is sooooo easy.  I really like having a good language and good tools.

In my opinion, the Python community should adopt wxPython as the new
standard GUI system and drop Tkinter.  I believe that WxWindows is now
available on Mac, as well as Windows and Unix, and it offers native L&F
for each of the platforms it supports.  (For Unix, there are X11aw and
GTK options).
