Note: This section is rather incomplete. Don't be too disappointed if you can't find the information you need, but please add any information you can contribute.
Todo: Would it be useful to have information about the GUIs and development tools in a fixed format to make them more easily comparable (see WebProgrammingTemplate and WebProgrammingTemplateHelp). Some categories: directly supported widgets, addon widgets, layout managers, ...
Maybe it could answer the questions in ChoosingGuiToolkits for each toolkit?
Some available GUI's for Python:
Package
Target
Notes
Platform-specific ("native")
BeOS
MacOS
Supports both OSX and OS9
Windows
Also known by the names of its components: PythonWin (for the UI), Win32Com (for COM/ActiveX), Win32 (for some other parts of the API)
["venster"]
Windows
[https://venster.sf.net Venster] is a highly native Windows GUI toolkit for Python based on the ctypes ffi library. The aim of Venster is to be a very lightweight wrapper around the standard Win32 API, making it easy to write slick windows applications in pure Python.
Portable

Python's "standard" GUI library
Tk extension
TkZinc is a extension of the Tk Canvas, with transparency, gradient, transformations
supports Windows/Unix/Mac for now - visit https://www.wxwidgets.org
