A windowing toolkit(and everything else in Qt) are whole different
beast than a python binding.

Everyone's waiting to see what Riverbank decides to do.  I don't
currently have a need for a GUI so I'll wait and see as well.

If PyQt does go LGPL it will be the best cross platform solution for
python windowing.

wxWidgets is a pain to work with for all but the simplest of things.

GTK is great on *nix, not so much on Windows, Mac, etc.

Qt works great everywhere and comes with multiple kitchen sinks.


Having Qt as an option for low budget commercial software would be nice.

Don't make it personal.  I live in a very rural part of Texas where
you either have Verizon or you don't have a cell phone.
