From what I’ve seen of Python, I relegated it to CUI and backend type tasks, since C# and .NET offer a powerful GUI platform out of the box, and Python seemingly didn’t have anything similar.
After looking into the OpenERP/OpenObject project (which looks pretty neat), I realized their complex GUI was written in Python. After a little investigation, I figured out they were using PyGTK (Python bindings for the GTK widget toolkit) and Glade (a GUI builder).
Combining Python, PyGTK and Glade seems to lead to a workable solution for creating GUIs for Python applications. There’s a nice tutorial on how all these pieces fit together here.
