What GUI-lib to use

[Lyle Johnson]

If you're looking for more of a Windows look-and-feel (reading between
the lines of "a more modern look") you can take a look at FXPy:

which is the Python interface to the FOX library:

FOX runs on Windows 95/98/NT and the various Unices. And (as I think
Robin said in *his* recommendation of wxPython) I'm a little biased
here.
