I use PythonCard, I don't use (and never have used) Wax. That's both a
warning about how biased my answer is likely to be, and a large part of
my answer :-)
I did look at them both, before choosing to investigate Pythoncard - and
was sufficiently happy with what I found that I didn't need to go back
to look in detail at Wax.
Wax *feels* to me like wxPython, only easier and better. You do
everything in the code; you create and lay out your components by
writing lines in your source code. Wax makes it better - feels Pythonic
instead of feeling like C++ - but it's still very "remote" from the GUI
appearance. I prefer the feel of Pythoncard, where you can create and
layout components in the resourceEditor (though if you need to, you can
later move them, change them or create more of them in code).
Pythoncard makes it easy to use wxPython directly, for any controls or
events which are not yet included in Pythoncard; it's not clear whether
Wax allows the same.
Pythoncard is relatively active - not sure about Wax. I know Hans Nowak
has said that he has little or no time to work on it, and is encouraging
others to step forward if they wish to contribute; but as yet there are
no additional developers listed on Sourceforge.
