- i want it to be easy to learn and not overly complicated to program. consistency is good too.
- i may be using almost all custom controls, plus menus.
- being easy to learn includes having adequate documentation for a beginner at gui toolkits to do at least what i want to do, preferably in python, so i don't have to figure out how to translate from c++
- speed is important. i've read that gtk is faster than qt..?
- i've read that qt has an advantage in that it uses signals and slots more than gtk, which uses more callbacks, which makes qt easier to debug. but since python has tracebacks, perhaps callbacks will be equally easy to debug..?
- i've heard something about wxwidgets being inconsistent. i'm also thinking it's slower because of the extra wrapper layer. and its main benefit, having native look and feel, is probably irrelevant to me since i'll be using primarily custom controls.
- i'll have to be running other processes, written in C, in the background and connecting with the GUI.
