PyQt4 is a great choice for cross platform dev. (I chose version 4 over 5 for now).

One thing I loved about it was that I could rapidly design a GUI using QtCreator/QtDesigner, which generated an XML file mainwindow.ui for example. Then use a handy tool to generate a python module from that XML:

Code: [Select]

pyuic4 mainwindow.ui -o mainwindow.pyWhich is then easily imported with:

Code: [Select]

from mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow
And here is how you run it:

Code: [Select]

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QMainWindow()
ui = Ui_MainWindow()
ui.setupUi(window)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

One thing about PyQt is that your app will look bog standard because it uses the platform's native widgets. But thats probably fine, and its a great way to get something up & running fast.

Great screenshot of the designer here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_Creator
QtCreator really is awesome, and its even got CMake integration which is great for building BitShares core as well.

Im not an expert, but let me know if you have any questions!
