Actually, wxPython might be a solution worth considering. Yes, it would
require changing, but it's an interface that can overlay several
different GUI libraries (GTK, Motif, MSWin) and has interfaces written
in several different languages (C++, Perl, Python) with more coming, and
runs on several different platforms (Linux, Win32, Mac, Solaris, etc).

Basically, something like Perl's DBI module collection: many databases,
one interface; you needn't change access methods when changing dbs.
