PyGTK vs Uno Platform

PyGTK — PyGTK is a Python binding for the GTK toolkit, allowing you to build graphical user interfaces in Python using GTK. It provides an object-oriented interface to GTK+ that is easy to use.

Uno Platform — Uno Platform is an open-source UI framework that allows you to build native mobile, desktop and web applications using C# and XAML from a single codebase. It leverages XAML from WPF, UWP and Xamarin.F

PyGTK offers Object oriented bindings, Integrates with GTK+ toolkit, Allows building GUIs in Python, Supports GTK+ 2 and 3, while Uno Platform provides Write once, run everywhere (mobile, desktop, web) using C# and XAML, Leverages existing XAML knowledge from WPF, UWP and Xamarin.Forms, Hot Reload to see UI changes in real-time, MVVM architecture support, Native performance and look & feel.

PyGTK stands out for Easy to use interface, Large number of widgets available, Good documentation; Uno Platform is known for Single codebase for multiple platforms, Productivity boost from reusing XAML skills, Rapid development with Hot Reload.
