AnyGUI <URL: http://anygui.sourceforge.net> should
be releasing again soon. The last release supported
wx, gtk, tk, win32, Jython, and curses - you write
your code and it "magically" works unchanged on
any of those UI platforms. There were a couple of
things missing, notably canvasses (eg Tk's Canvas)
and menus; the next release may (or may not)
remedy that.

Disclaimer: I have worked on Anygui in the past,
and hopefully will have time to continue to do
so in the future...

Cheers,
