need all python dialog equivalent

[Eric S. Johansson]

I'm creating a dialogue style interface for an application on a 
dedicated system.  All I have is basic Python 2.3.  Is there anything 
like an all Python dialog equivalent floating around?  I'm currently 
hacking away in curses but it's taking me a long way down what I fear to 
be a wrong path.

I've looked at the Python dialog web site but it clearly states that it 
is a wrapper around dialogue/Xdialog.

suggestions would be most welcome.
