A GUI toolkit for Python that is NOT x-windows dependent

[Andre Brightway]

I need a script to draw a keyboard to the screen and animate the
marking each key when the key is pressed (among other things like
being able to draw menus).  This script is for testing keyboards and
needs to be run by people who may never have touched a computer before
so it needs to have an easy to follow GUI interface.  But the Linux
boxes these will be runned on are very low-end, 'diskless' terminals
where running a full X-Windows system would be very slow. Does anybody
know of a GUI toolkit (or a way to draw to the screen) that can be
used from Python script in Linux without having to run X-Windows?
