Found a very nice, small, cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python.

Note: spelling is "OcempGUI". Also, since google broke some of the
links,
here's that main link again:

Well, to be fair, SDL is pretty commonly-used software and they offer
binary downloads for Mac OS X and MS Windows. Pygame seems to provide
the same. So, installation should be a breeze.

Well, of course, there *is* a dependency: you need Tcl/Tk installed.

I suppose so, but the point of my post was that by default it makes
quite a nice GUI toolkit.

What? Qt and wX are *huge* compared to OcempGUI.

Probably, but wX and Qt are written in C++. OcempGUI is pure Python,
which would make it easier for the Python community to help extend,
optimize, and maintain.

OcempGUI can also be "themed" as well. Though I'm not sure how much is
out there yet.
