Language to use is C++, not C (much more powerful IMHO)

Sorry, C++ is not an option because I dislike it so much.

Well, speaking about GUI applications, the 90% is in the graphic
library and only in small part in the language. With Qt we are at 95%

Anyhow does exist also python bindings for Qt.

Tried them, beed deeply disapointed. Qt always destroys all child objects
with the parent, which is OK in C++, but does not play well with
garbage-collection. And the python bindings (ruby ones seem to be better)
fail to check reference validity, so you can quite easily segfault the python
interpreter. Gtk plays much better with dynamic languages.

I have used PyQt for some smaller projects (notably Hgct, a no longer developed
commit tool for git and Mercurial. See
http://repo.or.cz/w/hgct.git?a=tree). For me
PyQt has worked very well. The python interface to Qt is more or less a direct
translation of the C++ interface, so the excellent documentation troll
tech provides
for Qt can be used when developing with PyQt as well.

I have never seen the segfaulting you mention. Maybe my programs have been too
small to trigger that bug...
