There is a better solution: the now-standard Swing java extension.

Personally, I don't see platform-dependent JNI-based packages as a good thing
for Java applications, so I wouldn't suggest jtkinter. (Clever though it
undoubtedly is.)

Now if someone ever comes up with a library that gives Swing/AWT a Python
interface, that would be another story...
