I've started using PyQT5 and I'm surprised at how easy it's been so far.

Anyone familiar with it, and if so, what kind of obstacles I can expect to encounter making custom widgets and styling?

    Qt itself is pretty nice. I do C++ and QML at work. Have not played with the python side. I did see code looks pretty similar though. So the C++ api is probably helpful.

    @Demolishun is QML used for styling or just structure? Or is api usually used for styling or something else?

    @Wisecrack QML is front end side. I often build Qt objects in C++ that get placed by QML.

    The only small issue with qt5, that commercial usage requires paying 500$ per dev I think.

    Tkinter is offered as fully free alternative.

    But hearing how easy to make front in qt5, I ll probably go for that too.

    @darkwind that's a little more than a dollar a day and it means support and continued development is likely in the future.

    Not everyone can afford that of course, but for the man hours it saves, it's worth it.

    @darkwind One can use the LGPL licensed versions even for commercial purposes... unfortunately the support cycle is quite short if I remember this right.
