which graphical toolkit to use for native GRASS GUI has been discussed
in grass-dev ML several times in the past. At the end it was decided
to use wxWidgets:

* powerful Python binding (know as wxPython).
* uses native platform SDK (native look and feel)
* Free OpenGL widget for NVIZ replacement

etc.

Since native wxPython GUI is under development more then one year it
makes hard to switch to PyQT now. wxPython seems to be a good choice
at the end, at least from my point of view.
