Like Ludo says, the wxPython demo is really very good and is great to
get you started in building Wx Applications.

But, please define attractive. wxPython pretty much reflects the UI
rendering from the underlying OS, so your wxPython apps on Windows
will look like a typical Windows application. Is that attractive?
Depends on the beholder :slight_smile:

You can also implement your own widget style in wxPython to, say,
display apps on Windows with a Mac look and feel. I have done some
work like that but it is not fun.

What you are probably looking for are good UI development guidelines
that will make your application user-friendly and hence attractive.
You might want to take a look at Apple's guidelines here -
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGIntro/chapter_1_section_1.html
and Microsoft's, here -

and Google will reveal more guidelines out there.

Hope this helps you think about your problem and get further help from the list.

Good luck,
+Kartic
