So I guess PyUI is long abandonded? What else is there?

Martin,

As the other poster mentioned, the SDL-based renderer for PyUI may
help you. Please let us know if you made it work.

I share your pain -- I'm fighting a long battle to find a simple,
intuitive, productive and cross-platform GUI framework for my own
apps. In the end, I'll probably do with many others had done before me
-- end up writing my own framework as a shim layer over someone's else
work. I don't know the reason - if that's just because we can't agree
on a framework, or if it's because there are so many different ways
(and platforms) to make it work that some type of agreement, or
standardization, is just impossible at this point. But I hope the
situtation will improve.
