Hi there. I need to build a native windows app using Python (and py2exe, I guess).
Feature requirements are:
- Taskbar icon
- Alert notifications (next to Taskbar Icon)
- Chromeless window (ideally a pretty, rounded, coloured one).
- Webkit to render some of the Chromeless window
So far I've identified the following possible toolkits:
- pyGTK
- pyQT4
- wxWidgets
- ironpython
I haven't used any of these before and so I look to you for advice on the suitability or pitfalls of choosing one of the above.
Many thanks for your thoughts!

PS: I've considered and discounted Titanium and Air; Air is out because of the runtime, Titanium is out because of the compile / deploy model.
EDIT: Here are promising (read: in development) LGPL Python bindings for QT (Why pyQT couldn't have just done LGPL I don't know): http://www.pyside.org/
