If the implication here is that there is *no* GUI in the Python
standard library, I'd be cautious of this (-0, probably). Things like
the pydoc server use a little GUI window. The Twisted installer (IIRC)
uses a Gui window while running the postinstall script, etc.
Basically, if a generic Python script wants some form of GUI. Tk is
available.

I've no problem with replacing Tk with an alternative. But there
should be a GUI of some sort.

Paul.
