simple GUI environment

[Eric Johansson]

I need a simple GUI toolkits like easygui pythoncard. The main reason I 
discount both of those is that they are effectively dead as I can see. 
Last updates in the 2010/2011 range. Has there been some toolkit to 
replace them? And no, the existing wxpython/gtk/qt/... toolkits really 
aren't acceptable. I need to get something done in 12 hours and I don't 
have time to climb the learning curve.

The application I'm building is a tool which gathers and saves 
configuration data for a specific Windows application. It needs to run 
in a Windows batch file for multisystem deployment and also as a GUI 
when the user is mucking about. It also needs to run as a portable app 
because I can't install this on every machine. many corporate IT types 
don't take kindly to utilities leaving little footprints all over the place.

The CLI version works. Simple UI, does what I need for part of the job. 
Now I need to add a relatively simple GUI. The user interface will 
consist of a series of tabs across the top, one for each subsystem and 
the main panel beneath that will contain the UI for the tab related 
task. I could fake the tabs by using a horizontal list of radio buttons 
which have the same semantics as tabs but a very different look.

I could do this relatively easily with twitter bootstrap but I don't 
have a standalone browser that I can embed in Python so I could build 
HTML for user interface.

suggestions?

I appreciate whatever help you can give.
