I need buttons, text inputs, and scrolling text output.  All I've found is the 
text input from the pygame code repository site.  Rather than make my own 
widgets I am planning to have one window for the mpeg viewer and one for the 
rest of the GUI (although one window would be better).

Can you point me to any source code for buttons, or a scrolling textbox?

Also, as time is a factor, which design is likely to be faster (at run time, 
not development):

1. Totally pygame interface with custom widgets (one window), or

2. pygame only for mpeg playing, and tkinter for the rest (2+ windows)
