Wax is a GUI toolkit that sits atop wxPython (wxWindows for Python). wxWindows is a mature cross-platform GUI toolkit. The main feature of wxWindows is that it uses 100% native widgets on the platform that it runs on, so it’s quite fast. It also runs on many platforms (Win32, Linux w/ GTK, and MacOS/OSX w/ Carbon).

Wax removes the low-level aspects of wxPython (which is basically a direct binding to the ugly C API) and gives you simple python objects to create your GUI.

This package is quite usable, but it’s still in the early stages, which means that some wxWindows widgets aren’t available.
