I don't know what this means.

I don't know what this means in practical terms either.  I use
the C interface for this.

As a Windows user, I don't feel comfortable publishing GUI code
based on these tools.  Maybe they have progressed and I should
look at them again.  But I doubt the Python world is going to
standardize on a single GUI anyway.

Does anyone out there publish Windows Python code with a Windows
Python GUI?  If so, what GUI toolkit do you use?
