IBM developerWorks has the preview of the Python-related project. “The [anygui] project is
intended as a wrapper API for a large number of underlying graphic toolkits. Once fully developed, a
Python programmer will be able to call a common [anygui] function — for example, to create a window —
then have the “best available” toolkit do the work. On Windows, the Win32 API might be used (or
wxWindows); on MacOS, native calls; on BeOS, Bethon; on Linux, TKinter or GTK; on a telnet screen,
ncurses — all depending on what is installed and available on a given machine.”
