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

Well, not compared to OcempGUI + SDL + PyGame. Note that I'm not trying to
run down the product at all, but if you're going to make comparisons like
this, you really need to be fair about it.

Again, that's hardly fair. OcempGUI is only pure Python because it
requires the C libraries SDL and PyGame. wxPython is basically pure
Python, also, if you don't count the C++ wxWidgets library underneath it.
As you say, if you are already using SDL and PyGame, this sounds like a
great solution. But for someone starting from scratch, it's not yet clear
to me that OcempGUI substantially better than wx.
