That is why I ended up learning Django, I could not find a GUI that was
cross platform and had the capabilities I needed. Others might have
suggestions. It would help though if you could list what you want in a

2) Widgets beyond the basics?

3) Programming language bindings?

4) Anything else you can think of.
