In [*] the link to "GUI Programming with Python: QT Edition by Boudewijn Rempt", does not work.  I did not find an official web page for this book, but it is really outdated (2002), so maybe we can take only the reference to the Mark Summerfield's book, about PyQt4.  Let me know, so in case I will open a PR.

Maybe instead of referencing to the books, we add reference to the wiki
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt

Hi Mariatta, all the other seealso entries (PyGObject, PySide, ...) have references to some specific books and tutorials.  No one has a reference to the wiki, maybe because there is already a reference to it (at the end of the page).  IMHO we can keep the PyQt description consistent with the other GUIs descriptions, and we can fix the broken URL just removing the reference to the outdated book.  What do you think?

Thanks, Marco. That sounds good. Let's just remove the reference to the books from both PyQt and wxPython.

Thanks Marco :) I merged your PR, and backported to 3.5 and 3.6.

There are some merge conflict with the 2.7 branch, so I decided not to bother with it.
