I'm thinking of making some kind of experimental IDE for digital hardware design. So I can't decide witch platform to choose.
I'm going to have text-editor with syntax highlighting, some vector graphics and lots of tabbed windows.
My goals:
1. to make GUI using as less custom components as possible.
2. to make it as cross-platform as possible
(I know already that CPython and Jython are cross-platform-friendly, but what about IronPython+Mono?)
So - the question is about GUI - what should I choose?
Take a look at comparable GUI's written in python/jython/ironpython. Look for programs that you like and find out what they use. I guess most if not all will be written in cpython + gtk or cpython + qt. I think all gui toolkits in python are cross platform.
CPython vs. Jython vs. IronPython for cross-platform GUI development
