[Tutor] Testing for gui

[Liam Clarke-Hutchinson]

Hmm, no x-server. If you're looking to detect running Python GUI packages,
you could check the namespaces for 'em, but beyond that, I'm stumped.

Yes. Under Linux no x-server running? I guess it really wouldn't be
applicable under a windows enviroment, although I would like my code
to be transportable. Just under a MS windows enviroment it would
always be a "gui" environment.

Thanks, Ken
