Listens: The whine of my PC's CPU fan

Not much going on here, so....

Looks like there won't be a non-commercial PyQt license for Windows to go with the new non-commercial Qt license. This has been confirmed with the release of PyQt 3.1.1 which works with Qt 3.3.1, but not the 3.2.1 that comes free with the new book C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3

I've been getting used to wxPython, but don't really like the cludginess (sp?) of wxWidgets - seems too centred around MS Windows, and the Linux/Mac support is kinda bolted on for fun! Still, better than TKinter, and 2.5 should bring some improvements.

Anyone got any views on the new IronPython (aka Python.NET)? The speed figures look good for a start - faster than CPython or Jython for a lot of things. Personally I'd like a real Python [machine code] compiler, not just another bytecode compiler, how's Parrot support coming on?

What about Prothon? The classless, prototype-based Python implementation? Not sure I like the whole idea, some of it makes sense, but as someone else said, I think this should be a patch to the main Python trunk like Stackless, not a completely seperate project.
