Yeah tcl/tk does work for that.  And you can link it together with C
functions that you can activate based on events from tk/tcl.  I never
did like the syntax though.  Bleagh!  Always seems the syntax was not
what I thought it should be at any given point.  Could be worse though.
Could have been intercal. :)

Personally I really do intend to get around to learning python rather
than just looking at other people's pretty code.
