+Other Graphical User Interface Packages
+=======================================
+
+There are an number of extension widget sets to :mod:`Tkinter`.
+
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   `Python megawidgets <http://pmw.sourceforge.net/>`_
+      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) <http://tkinter.effbot.org/>`_
+      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 <http://www.pygtk.org/>`_
+      is a set of bindings for the `GTK <http://www.gtk.org/>`_ 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
+      <http://www.daa.com.au/~james/gnome/>`_ to  `GNOME <http://www.gnome.org>`_.
+      One well known PyGTK application is
+      `PythonCAD <http://www.pythoncad.org/>`_. An
+      online `tutorial <http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html>`_ is
+      available.
+
+   `PyQt <//http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/index.php>`_
+      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
+      <http://www.commandprompt.com/community/pyqt/>`_ by Boudewijn
+      Rempt. The *PyQt4* bindings also have a book, `Rapid GUI Programming
+      with Python and Qt <http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html>`_, by Mark
+      Summerfield.
+
+   `wxPython <http://www.wxpython.org>`_
+      wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python that is built around
+      the popular `wxWidgets <http://www.wxwidgets.org/>`_ (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
+      <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932394621>`_, by Noel Rappin and
+      Robin Dunn.
+
+PyGTK, PyQt, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and far more
+widgets and better documentation than Tkinter. In addition,
+there are many other GUI toolkits for Python, both cross-platform, and
+platform-specific. See the `GUI Programming
+<http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>`_ page in the Python Wiki for a
+much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the
+different GUI toolkits are compared.
