Yes, that is a point we intend to address, by allowing you to write
backend-specific extensions etc.

I'm not quite sure which one would look the most like Anygui, but in
general, I think wxPython and Tkinter are good choices that aren't too
hard to learn. (I sort of think that wxPython is a bit cooler, but
that's probably just a matter of taste :)

No problem -- not sure how much I helped, though ;)

By the way: If you see something you need but which is lacking in
Anygui, just shout. We might very well include support for it... :)
