+1: it would be a fantastic 0.10 material if we could figure out more
robust implementations of this stuff. You (Ville) also mentioned a
while ago the possibility of having tk-like versions of all the gui
support via pyoshook, perhaps accessed via ctypes. If you can have a
stab at prototyping this out, it would be great for 0.10.
