Does the binary size matter? Memory footprint is more important.

There's always PyQt which works cross platform

Yes! Plenty of us are still stuck on mediocre internet connections that have data caps. My cap at home is 5GB/month!

100MB/app is in the range of "I am not going to download it" unless I have a damned good reason to. Doubly so for updates...

If we're talking Python, then I've had great experiences with Kivy.

I have used PyQt. I wouldn't suggest that it's a suitable cross-platform toolkit for anything more than the most basic applications.

interesting, what makes you say so ? it's been used to build apps that I wouldn't call basic :
