I am new to GUI development. What is the best GUI development package for python on linux (ubuntu being more specific)?

A:
There are numerous decent GUI toolkits, the most popular being PyQt, PyGTK, wxPython and Tkinter. Personally, I prefer Qt, but that's really subjective.

Is Qt4 designer something like Glade for pyQt?

@san8055: Yes it is. It's good for whipping up the initial structure, but since some of the really cool widgets that I happen to need sometimes can't be placed in the designer, I decided to sketch out the interface via designer as far as possible and add the rest by hand.

I've been using wxPython with some success there are some nice python extensions, and I've been able to make my own widgets as needed- I'm tempted to try QT for my next project though, as I've heard many good things about it.
