I couldn't see anything obviously simple there. A lot seems to do with 
interaction which is always much more complicated than just drawing stuff.

'Turtle' will do it (assuming there's a way of drawing things without 
having to watch an actual turtle symbol crawling around the screen).


One simple library of my own (not for Python) would use one function 
call to create a window, and another to draw an element (say, a box) 
within that window. (Plus a third to keep it on the screen otherwise it 
will disappear when the program terminates.)

The only way to get it simpler than that is where the display window is 
always present (like some old Basics).
