Shoes has been more and more impressive lately. I'm not sure about ports or equivalents in Python and Perl, but people are doing great things with it in Ruby.
I give two thumbs up for Shoes - I'm learning Ruby just so I can use it. However, running through the list of GUI kits the poster has assessed, Shoes differs significantly in that it incorporates web-style widgets on the desktop. It is much more suited to graphical applications and games than native desktop software.
Two thumbs down for wxWidgets. I used the wxPython port to prototype a not-too-complex desktop application, and found it tediously cumbersome (not to mention ugly). I would've been better off coding it natively in Obj-C and then porting it down the track.
