Also, wxWindows (the C++ library on top of which wxPython is built) has 
Life as one of its demo apps. Provided you know some C++ you could use 
that as a basis for your program. But even if you start from scratch it 
shouldn't be too hard: it's just a matter of adding a paint event 
handler to a canvas or frame in which you blit some bitmaps to the 
screen.

Sounds like a nice learning project. Have fun.
