For some commentary on the above article, you might like to read the
following link as well. The bottom line seems to be that it is an
interesting idea of limited utility that a few people will nevertheless
might find useful in some situations.

Generic GUI Wrapper for Python

An Anonymous Coward writes "IBM is working on a generic GUI wrapper to allow
Python developers to write cross-platform GUIs. The anygui project will
expose a common set of functions to the programmer and choose which backend
gui toolkit to use for the given platform: TK, WIN32, GTK, Bethon, etc.
Currently the software is in an alpha stage. The article also has some
example code." Update: 10/27 23:53 GMT by T: Magnus Lie Hetland wrote to
point out that though this article is hosted at IBM, "Anygui has nothing to
do with IBM. It is, in fact, an independent Open Source project currently
hosted at SourceForge."
