Similar to QT is WxWidgets:

https://www.wxwidgets.org/

though I would not call it simple. Also it does not have  built in
database connectors, so you would have to hook that in separately. To
get around this I have in the past used Dabo:

http://dabodev.com/

which is Python 'binding' to WxWidgets, in the sense that it uses
WxWidgets but under its own framework. It does have a database layer
that in the case of Postgres, uses the psycopg2 driver.

My guess though is that you might find using libpq
(www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/libpq.html) directly
as the database connector with your existing Qt application a better
alternative.

Reply All is just fine and is generally considered a good way to make
sure posts get through in the event of list issues.
