Did you get it from PyPI?
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pmw/2.0.0  ?

Last I heard Andy Robinson of reportlab had made it work with Python3.0,
so you might ask him about bizarre crashes.

You might also want to look at kivy, which works on desktops as well as
on mobile devices.  Get the examples directory and run the demos to see
if what it can do looks like what you want.
