[wxPython] wxWindows, GTK+, Windows NT and Python

As another option, the Fox GUI is a non-native-widget system (with FxPy as
binding). Last time I looked it wasn't very stable, but that was probably 6
months ago, and they seem to have done considerable work since then. If I
recall correctly, their systems are entirely based on a few very simple
primitives (draw line, draw point, draw text, fill area, draw bitmap) that
are ported to each platform with all of the higher-level stuff done in the
cross-platform C++ code.

Enjoy,
Mike

under GTK+, I get the system dialogs that come with GTK+.
But when I build it under Windows NT, I get the Windows
dialogs. The marketing folks here say that's not good.
So, other than nuking the marketing people, what choices
do I have?

You could try using Java Swing with JPython. I believe Java Swing allows you
to specify a standard look and feel irrespective of the platform. But it
ain't wxPython, and some implementations I have seen are rather sluggish.
