He is not in the business of designing GUI toolkits, but in the business
of designing programming languages. So he abstains from specifying
(or even recommending) a GUI library.
What he makes clear is the point that Terry cites: no matter what the
GUI toolkit is or what features it has - it should be simple to create
GUIs, as simple as creating HTML.
Tim Berners-Lee would laugh to hear html described as "simple." He was
very frustrated with
how long it took anyone to create a graphical toolkit to create webpages.
So, what *does* Guido want in a GUI toolkit for Python?
His concern really isn't what is in the toolkit, but what isn't.
It must not require lots of lines of code to produce a simple
GUI, it must not require specification of absolute coordinates,
... - you should be able to continue the list yourself.

Martin
