[Tutor] GUI + python program

[Patrick Sabin]

You have a lot of options:

GUI: Any major gui toolkit will do the job. It's probobly easiest to 
stick with tkinter.

HTML Template: Use a template language, e.g. mako or django templates
Pdf Templates: Reportlab is an option.

File Access: Of course you could just open a file and write to it, but 
it probably gets messy. I would recommend using a database. Sqlite is 
maybe a good choice, or sqlalchemy.
