I believe the best and most documented is probably PyQT, but it depends on what you are developing. PyGTK has a really linuxy design. PyQT has one disadvantage that when compiled it is a really large file.

Advantages of Each:

PyQt

  • Great support for signals and slots (Docs)
  • Great for model and view programming (Docs)
  • Has a great designer (QtDesigner)
  • Cross platform Support
  • Great support for both c++ and python
  • Third party plugins and development tools (e.g. PyQWT, networking, etc.) Docs

PyGTK

  • Really nice Linux design
  • Good documentation (docs)
  • Well to do design tools (Stetic, Glade)
  • Supposedly great support for internationalized text
  • Strong graphical element platform (GTK+)

wxPython

But it all comes down to the design and the development style that you prefer. I recommend you pick one and just stick with it. For windows, its probably best to use PyQt4 because of flexibility in design, code, and performance.

PyQT5 is rather new, I do know that you need a commercial license on Qt5. But i cannot seem to find pyqt5 docs, you can try to use the qt5 docs here qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/index.html – enginefree 2 days ago

I prefer PyQt, there is some examples in the pyqt release directory, you can try it out. I think the effect is really cool. I haven't tried other library so i could not compare PyQt with others . As I am familiar with Qt, the coding experience is very easy if you switch Qt to PyQt.
