In the spirit of "batteries included", Python needs to have "something"
in the stdlib as far as gui.  But it cannot be overwhelming.

The problem with wx is that it is BIG.  And so if we want something like
wx to be in the stdlib then it would have to be refactored so that there
was a small basic wx that was part of stdlib and then import
wx-the-whole-enchilada if you need heavy gui artillery.
