I really like pyGUI. We would have to do a ton of work to get it even
to the scale of Tkinter. In hindsight the project seems like something
Python should have considered from the beginning. Had we have started
with something like pyGUI 20 years ago, i'd bet we would be better off
today since we could control the development internally.

PROS:

 * small
 * cross platform??
 * pythonic
 * under our control
 * unlimited possibilities

CONS:

 * not feature rich
 * huge amount of work needed

Although pyGUI would probably never measure up to wxPython. I still
have a special place in my heart for such an ambitious and visionary
undertaking. You can read the goals at Greg's site. Every time i do i
get a tear in my eye thinking of the possibilities.
