Because I'd like to avoid having to pack several MB + having to
install the toolkit. Considering the size of the typical Python
script, it seemed overkill.

So the PyWin32 interface doesn't make it easier to program Win32 GUI
apps? It's just C that looks like Python?

Guess I have the answer as to no one seems to write GUI apps for
Windows natively :-)
