I think you've missed the whole point of the OP's project.  He doesn't
want to make a GUI.  He simply wants to have his program do something
like blink an LED when someone presses a big red button.  He just wanted
a quick way to test things out since his big red button can emulate a
USB keyboard.  So all he needed was a simple console app that can fetch
keystrokes.  In the end, though GPIO is very simple both electrically
and in terms of Python, so that is the ultimate route he will go.  If
you read his last post you'll find he says this.
