As a user I'm finding much of the open source GUI stuff that I download and have to
compile is written with wxWindows. I suspect that that is because many open source
programmers dont have the full, pay for Qt libraries to develop with. wxWindows has
bindings for Python, Perl and C++. It's web page http://www.wxwindows.org now seems
to redirect to http://www.wxwidgets.org
Using wxWindows your one app will work on Linux, MacOSX and Windows.
