The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. PyQt is a framework while wxPython is a library. We picked PyQt based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

🧊
The Bottom Line
PyQt wins

Based on overall popularity. PyQt is more widely used, but wxPython excels in its own space.
