Good looking Python GUI toolkit for Snow Leopard(64 bit)

Question

I'm looking for a GUI toolkit/framework to create applications that run on Mac Snow Leopard and preferably other systems(Windows, Linux).

Deal breakers:

• X11 based
• Non-native widgets
• 32 bit/Carbon
• Bad Mac look and feel

As far as I know Tkinter runs X11 and wxWidgets and PyQT do not run 64 bit.

Is there anything usable for good looking Mac applications?

[edit] http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming Lists a lot of unusable stuff, but has a few interesting ones. Lucid... rings a bell, but the site has nothing about Python whatsoever. PyGUI, looks like a cool one-man project, just like uxpython.

It seems QT, WX and TK are really the big ones... All of them might have 64 bit or Cocoa ports in a few years, but a the moment none of them seems to run out of the box.

[edit]
So far there is no perfect solution.

• Tkinter works, but is un-cool for me
• PyObjC works, but is not cross-platform
• PyQT and wxWidgets might work someday...

I'm not yet sure which to use, but I accepted PyQT for now.

Answer 1

Maybe PyQt works on Snow Leopard 64 bits. Look at this link and try it.

Answer 2

Your list doesn't specifically rule out CocoaPython/PyObjC, which would be completely native on Mac OS X. It wouldn't run on anything else, though,

Answer 3

The Apple-supplied Tk, Aqua Tk, on OS X has not been X11-based since at least OS X 10.4. Apple ships a 64-bit version of Aqua Tk in OS X 10.6 and the Tkinter in the Apple-supplied Python 2.6 is linked with it. There have been some reported problems using IDLE and other test applications with it, though. Your mileage may vary.
