Much as I hate to say, use a cross-platform GUI -- Tkinter comes with
Python, and you can also use SDL via PyGame, wxWindows, pyQT, PyOpenGL,
and so on.  If that's not an option, you should have said "command-line
program".  ;-)

"...string iteration isn't about treating strings as sequences of strings, 
it's about treating strings as sequences of characters.  The fact that
characters are also strings is the reason we have problems, but characters 
are strings for other good reasons."  --Aahz
