It relies upon a systems 'native' windowing libraries so it gives you the [LookAndFeel] of that platform. For example, on Microsoft Windows it uses the native toolkit, on Unix it can use GTK, Motif or raw X11 (for wxEmbedded), and so on for the Mac and hand-held wx ports
.
-Its design is similar to that of [MFC] but much more consistent.
+wxPython is a very fast way of prototyping and developing graphical applications, if you are familar with python. It is fairly easy ([IMO]) to get the hang of the required coding style. The latest stable version (at the of writing) of wxWindows (which also includes the GTK, MSW, and Embedded ports) is 2.4., released in January 2003.

Its (wxWindows')
design is similar to that of [MFC] but much more consistent.
It is, of course, [OpenSource] and runs on [Linux].
Which OpenSource? [GPL] so you can't use it in a commercial program? [LGPL] so you can't steal the library? [BSD] style?
