Do you get a stack trace or something in the terminal where you run it
(if you do run it from a terminal)?

I don't think so...

Which version of Anygui are you using?

You could use the wish list mechanism, for example by setting the
environment variable ANYGUI_WISHLIST to 'tk'.

On the other hand -- please note that Anygui is not being actively
developed or supported. It might be a better idea to simply use the
wxPython API directly. It's available for most/all platforms and the
basic stuff is more or less as easy as Anygui. PyQt and Tkinter aren't
too hard either. (It seems Guido prefers wxPython, though [1].)
