I recently got access to one of those new GooglePages and decided to play around with it a little. I figured it would be a nice *easy* way to get a website going. I may eventually do something more professional, but hey, this was free in both money and time. :) I had been thinking of releasing

Here is another question, are you deploying in Linux, Windows, Mac, or some combination of these? I think that may be a big factor to consider. I do like the look of Qt under Linux, however, I have never seen it under Windows. Qt seems to be very focused in Linux, with Mac and Windows support

I admit that I don't know much about Qt in Windows. As, I said, I've never seen it. The fact that they don't offer a GPLed version for Windows is a deterrent for me. I have heard very nice things about Qt's api. I even bought a book on it, but since the apps I've needed to write, had to be

Of course, the licensing terms may still be too restrictive for those that want to create comercial closed source applications and can't afford the comercial license of Qt. That is why, for many, wxPython will remain the preferred choice. Being that you are inclined use Xemacs and xterm for your
