wxWindows is a cross platform GUI toolkit. www.wxwindows.org

However, of particular interest at the moment is wxPython, which is
wxWindows for python, and generally seems to be the most complete gui
toolkit for python.  Definately far better than Tk, and more cross
platform than PyGTK.  See www.wxpython.org
