They can, by installing wxPython.  How long would it take to
understand wxpython?  My gut feel is "longer than it took to
understand Python", which makes it pretty heavyweight.

Python's no-new-features rule means that the stdlib is the wrong place
for a does-everything library.  Instead, it should stick to a
good-enough-for-simple-use library, and explicitly refer people to 3rd
party libraries.
