The main reason I discount both of those is that they are effectively dead as I can see. Last updates in the 2010/2011 range. Has there been some toolkit to replace them? And no, the existing wxpython/gtk/qt/... toolkits really aren't acceptable. I need to get something done in 12 hours and I don't have time to climb the learning curve. The application I'm building is a tool which gathers and saves configuration data for a specific Windows application. It needs to run in a Windows batch file for multisystem deployment and also as a GUI when the user is mucking about. It also needs to run as a portable app because I can't install this on every machine. many corporate IT types don't take kindly to utilities leaving little footprints all over the place. The CLI version works. Simple UI, does what I need for part of the job. Now I need to add a relatively simple GUI. The user interface will consist of a series of tabs across the top, one for each subsystem and the main panel beneath that will contain the UI for the tab related task. I could fake the tabs by using a horizontal list of radio buttons which have the same semantics as tabs but a very different look. I could do this relatively easily with twitter bootstrap but I don't have a standalone browser that I can embed in Python so I could build HTML for user interface. suggestions? I appreciate whatever help you can give.
