What about C++?  Considering both Qt and wxWindows are C++ libraries with 
Python bindings.  I think it's fair to say most GUI libraries are written 
in either C or C++, and every library written in C can be accessed easily 
from C++.

What popular GUI libraries are available for Python and not available for 
C++?
