- GUI input events - I don't know about Unix, but Windows GUI events are a separate notification stream from network or pipe data, and it's very plausible that someone would want to integrate GUI events into an async app. Twisted, for instance, has GUI event loop integration facilities, I believe.
That's way too large a topic to try to anticipate without thorough research. And it's not very likely that you can do this in a portable way either -- the best you can probably hope for is have a PEP 3156-compliant event loop that lets you use portable async networking APIs (transports and protocols) while also letting you write platform-*specific* GUI code. The best route here will probably be the PEP 3156 bridge that Twisted is going to develop once the PEP and Twisted's Python 3 port stabilize. (Unfortunately, wxPython is not ported to Python 3.)
That's not exactly true: http://wiki.wxpython.org/ProjectPhoenix#Links It's still a work in progress, but the basic interface is unlikely to change. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
