+Other Graphical User Interface Packages
+=======================================
+
+There are an number of extension widget sets to :mod:`Tkinter`.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ `Python megawidgets `_
+ is a toolkit for building high-level compound widgets in Python using the
+ :mod:`Tkinter` module. It consists of a set of base classes and a library of
+ flexible and extensible megawidgets built on this foundation. These megawidgets
+ include notebooks, comboboxes, selection widgets, paned widgets, scrolled
+ widgets, dialog windows, etc. Also, with the Pmw.Blt interface to BLT, the
+ busy, graph, stripchart, tabset and vector commands are be available.
+
+ The initial ideas for Pmw were taken from the Tk ``itcl`` extensions ``[incr
+ Tk]`` by Michael McLennan and ``[incr Widgets]`` by Mark Ulferts. Several of the
+ megawidgets are direct translations from the itcl to Python. It offers most of
+ the range of widgets that ``[incr Widgets]`` does, and is almost as complete as
+ Tix, lacking however Tix's fast :class:`HList` widget for drawing trees.
+
+ `Tkinter3000 Widget Construction Kit (WCK) `_
+ is a library that allows you to write new Tkinter widgets in pure Python. The
+ WCK framework gives you full control over widget creation, configuration, screen
+ appearance, and event handling. WCK widgets can be very fast and light-weight,
+ since they can operate directly on Python data structures, without having to
+ transfer data through the Tk/Tcl layer.
+
+
+The major cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix-like) GUI toolkits that are
+also available for Python:
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ `PyGTK `_
+ is a set of bindings for the `GTK `_ widget set. It
+ provides an object oriented interface that is slightly higher level than
+ the C one. It comes with many more widgets than Tkinter provides, and has
+ good Python-specific reference documentation. There are also bindings to
+ `GNOME `_. One well known PyGTK application is
+ `PythonCAD `_. An online `tutorial
+ `_ is available.
+
+ `PyQt `_
+ PyQt is a :program:`sip`\ -wrapped binding to the Qt toolkit. Qt is an
+ extensive C++ GUI application development framework that is
+ available for Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. :program:`sip` is a tool
+ for generating bindings for C++ libraries as Python classes, and
+ is specifically designed for Python. The *PyQt3* bindings have a
+ book, `GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition
+ `_ by Boudewijn
+ Rempt. The *PyQt4* bindings also have a book, `Rapid GUI Programming
+ with Python and Qt `_, by Mark
+ Summerfield.
+
+ `wxPython `_
+ wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python that is built around
+ the popular `wxWidgets `_ (formerly wxWindows)
+ C++ toolkit. It provides a native look and feel for applications on
+ Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix systems by using each platform's native
+ widgets where ever possible, (GTK+ on Unix-like systems). In addition to
+ an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides classes for online
+ documentation and context sensitive help, printing, HTML viewing,
+ low-level device context drawing, drag and drop, system clipboard access,
+ an XML-based resource format and more, including an ever growing library
+ of user-contributed modules. wxPython has a book, `wxPython in Action
+ `_, by Noel Rappin and
+ Robin Dunn.
+
+PyGTK, PyQt, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and more
+widgets than Tkinter. In addition, there are many other GUI toolkits for
+Python, both cross-platform, and platform-specific. See the `GUI Programming
+`_ page in the Python Wiki for a
+much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the
+different GUI toolkits are compared.
