Python's "standard" (and bundled on most platforms) UI tookkit is TCL/TK. However, this has A LOT of drawbacks:

* It's eyesore on a lot of platforms
* It's non-pythonic
* It just flat out fails on some desktop environments
* On linux it requires X, however lots of distros are now using wayland
and so on.

I think python needs a new "standard" UI toolkit.
