The wxPython package (www.wxpython.org) is a complete cross-platform GUI
framework for Python. You can do pretty much anything you'd want,
including integrating Windows ActiveX components (on Windows of course).
I don't know how well it integrates with things like GNOME. It's pretty
well documented and there's lots of sample code.

All of it's primitive widgets can be scripted with Python, so you could
use it to construct custom widgets that way, although it would probably
be more effective to implement non-trivial controls in C at the
wxWindows level.

Cheers,

Eliot
