you guys are great. I'm going to try pygui first and easygui second. My 
reason  for this is that pygui looks like it will let me bundle using 
py2exe without trying hard.the only thing that would make it better is 
if either of these kits used standard Rich text edit controls under 
Windows so I can speech enable these applications.

Thanks a bunch. All the advice was really useful and appreciated.
