You may be interested in the recent thread on this list, where the
merits of pygtk and other python GUI toolkits were discussed

I started using pygtk with no GTK bias: like you I just wanted a cross
platform GUI for python that looked better than Tkinter. I mainly
considered wxpython and pygtk. I was scared away from wxpython when I
read a statement to the effect that support for cross platform
printing of device contexts was sketchy. I then realized that if the
GIMP could be ported to windows, there was nothing I needed from GTK
that wouldn't run on win32, and went with pygtk. And I've been very
happy.
