I have used PyQt for some smaller projects (notably Hgct, a no longer developed commit tool for git and Mercurial. See http://repo.or.cz/w/hgct.git?a=tree). For me PyQt has worked very well. The python interface to Qt is more or less a direct translation of the C++ interface, so the excellent documentation troll tech provides for Qt can be used when developing with PyQt as well. I have never seen the segfaulting you mention. Maybe my programs have been too small to trigger that bug... - Fredrik
