Ok, ok... I wrote a GUI for some kind of batch job mgmt software that IBM
hobbled together in order to trace dependencies, that was done in python.

  Did you use something like tkinter?

   TKinter works. Not ultra-elegant but functional.
   I've used it for several projects with pop-up
   windows and touch-screens and such. Did find that
   you get less grief if you don't CLOSE those windows
   but just send 'em off to negative screen coords.
   Then on signal from a touch-screen or timer or
   whatever you just drag 'em back into view and
   make whatever updates.
   TK is also pretty well documented since it's been
   around for awhile. Actually none of the graphics
   toolkits are particularly 'elegant' or great joys
   to use so go with what seems easiest for the job.
   Mostly if I need something with a quickie GUI then
   I use Lazarus/FPC when possible. The WYSIWYG form
   builder with a zillion possible options is WAY nicer
   than the line-at-a-time TK approach plus Pascal looks
   much nicer than Python or 'C'.
