I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, and here it is again. The biggest wart in Python 2, the one that forces me to use another language, is the lack of a standard GUI. By standard, I mean that when you install Python on a system, the GUI toolkit is also installed.
I suggest that for Python 3K, we adopt Greg Ewing's PyGUI into the standard library. It's been around for years, works on every major platform (using GTK+ for Windows and X11, and Cocoa for Mac OS X), is Pythonic in flavor, and is aimed at eventual inclusion into the standard library. http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python_gui/ Might want to add another port of it, to a lower-level multi-platform framework like cairo (which is now being used in Mono, and Firefox, and GTK+). To function properly in a plug-in in a Web browser, you probably need to take over an existing window, and use it.
