This is probably because maybe the book addresses how to use python to
do windows-specific
stuff (like using a COM interface) and presumes a basic knowledge of
python in the reader
(just guessing, never read the book )

There are as many way to do it as many GUI toolkits for python you can
find (and there are
many) although they all share a similar structure. Here is the one for
Tkinter, which is the
default python GUI toolkit. The example is copied verbatim from
the python on-line documentation ( section "Graphical User Interfaces
with Tk" of  "The Python Standard Library").
