 Oh, c'mon now Paul, now you're trolling. You know exactly what the problem 
is, and try to make it look like a bug.

 Fine: you don't want to use anything that doesn't come standard with Python. 
You've made your point. We get it. There is no need to repeat yourself 
constantly.

 The only point of my post was that for those without your aversion to 
installing useful tools, Dabo provides a ton of functionality. Also, as my 
partner Paul McNett pointed out, I could have done it in *two* lines:

import dabo
dabo.dApp().start()

;-)
