I took it seriously too ;-). It seems to me that you project can have at 
least 3 components. 1) the core library module, which might or might not 
be targeted at eventual stdlib inclusion. 2) a small console driver 
script. 3) one or more GUI scripts. A TK version would be good from my 
viewpoint as it does not require download and installation of any other 
binaries. Removal of TK from the Windows distribution will be extremely 
contentious if seriously proposed, so it could not happen for a while.
