GUIs - A Modest Proposal

No. Python, in itself, does not "handle" graphics displays at all. For
any output to the graphics display, it uses some kind of library,
whether it's console output, or a GUI application. One specific GUI
library is Tkinter. A standard "print" command (which eventually also
outputs to the graphics display) instead uses the terminal emulation of
the operating system.
