Answer 3

You can get a pretty comprehensive list of Gui programming frameworks for Python here, http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming

Answer 4

Well the best way to start is to look at the source code of the framework the other answers are talking about.

First, try to use them all to build the same application with the functionalities you expect from a framework. Them, look at how it works under the hood.

Secondly, build your framework, starting by writing your first widgets, then notice the problems with your current architecture, and re factor. Start again, until you have something stable and usable.

Eventually, find out this was nice as training experience, but useless as a contribution to the software communities since you will never reach out the qualities of existing tools.

Then give up and try to code your own MMORPG.
