If we choose pyGTK it means we can develop the UI with PyGlade, and it 
generates pyGTK code + xml files for libglade to parse. And that is AFAIK 
the thing that makes developing with pyGTK so quick. And that is IMO why 
this combination is the strongest candidate.

As for porting pyGTK to wxPython, well don't even think about it (; It is 
IMO better to code for wxPython directly.
