[SciPy-User] Scipy stack: standard packages (poll)

Just a thought, although late in the process;

Is there in the default stack any toolkit to help create simple 
interactive GUIs, like e.g. Traits(ui)? Nothing overly complicated, but 
simple dialogues etc. would be great for creating simple apps for e.g. 
teaching. I know IDL has it and it is used quite frequently (yes, I'm an 
astronomer).

Cheers
Emil
