We ended up using (py)Qt, and it's a nice library
but to my eyes is a lot un-pythonic. In many
cases there are convoluted solutions that seem
to me good ideas for a C++ library, but that
just do not make any sense in Python where
the problem they solve simply do not exist.

My impression about PyGUI is that it would be
(would have been?) a nice plug for a hole in
the python offer, unfortunately I also perceive
the clear impression the authors don't (didn't?)
actually want it to be used in the real world.
