If you read the documentation, I think this will be clear.  It uses
standard Win32 controls.

Yes, they should be.

That's a difficult question to answer.  Really, they are two different
approaches to the same problem.  wxPython is a Python wrapper around a
largish GUI framework library that was originally written for C++ and
continues to have a life in the C++ world.  PyGUI is a Python wrapper
around the Win32 API.  The underlying wxWidgets library is a lot richer,
but PyGUI is lighter weight.

To know more, you should download both and try them.
