Pythonwin is a GUI. As such (on Windows) it has no stdin 
and stdout. So it pops up a messagebox for input, and writes 
output to the interactive window.

What you've written is normal console-style code; it just looks 
GUI-ish because Pythonwin has to do that for console-style 
apps.

You can do what you want by creating your own 
win32api.MessageBox, instead of using print. Beyond that, 
you'll have to look at how to create real dialogs (see the demo 
subdirectory of Pythonwin).
