Python runs on next to anything. wx is replaceable for less demanding client applications e.g. on handhelds, e.g. by QT, Fox, or just plain curses - the latter running on next to anything too. However, with pyPgSQL you are stuck, much harder to port - but with a backend library in pure Python, hey - a TK interface as usually delivered with most Python installations out of the box plus our Python code, and you're running.
