It provides a native look and feel for applications on - Windows, macOS, 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. - -PyGTK, PyQt, PySide2, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and more -widgets than Tkinter.
