What platform-specific GUI toolkits exist for Python?

The Mac port by Jack Jansen has a rich and ever-growing set of modules that support the native Mac toolbox calls. The port includes support for MacOS9 and MacOS X’s Carbon libraries. By installing the PyObjc Objective-C bridge, Python programs can use MacOS X’s Cocoa libraries. See the documentation that comes with the Mac port.

PythonWin by Mark Hammond includes an interface to the Microsoft Foundation Classes and a Python programming environment using it that’s written mostly in Python.

Comment:

I'd suggest to deemphasize Jack Jansen's Mac Port (the last version was for Python 2.3.3) and Carbon libraries, which have not been updated for recent MacOS X releases. For platform-specific GUI programming on MaxOS X, PyObjC is the much better choice.
