Complicated question.  Python doesn't have any native GUI, so there's no
such thing as a "control".  There are add-in modules like wxPython or
tkInter that give you a GUI interface.  None of them have bound controls
built-in, although you could build one if you wanted.

On the other hand, many people think bound controls are  bad idea.
Non-bound controls are a bit more work, but they give you more control.
