[Jython-users] Newbie: Can I open a GUI with a Jython library using a Python script within HEC-DSSVue?

[Derek S. <dstu@u.washington.edu>]

I know some simple python but am completely new to Jython.  The reason I am
asking this question on this
list is that an application I am using called HEC-DSSVue is built on Jython
and allows users to implement
scripts to manipulate timeseries of data. I am writing such a script a
script and I would like to open a window and ask the
user for some simple information (e.g.pathname for example).

Typically when using Python I would be able to use the Tkinter module to
open a gui and ask the user for such information.  Unfortunately the python
scripting available via HEC-DSSVue does not allow Tkinter.  I have seen a
jTkinter module but I am distributing this to very novice users and would
prefer to minimize their confusion.  I am hoping that Jython has a GUI that
I can open using the python scripting abilities within HEC-DSSVue.  Can
anybody point me in such a direction?  I know where the Jython libraries are
but I don't know how I would call them from the python scripting language
nor do I know which I would call if I knew how.

Perhaps there is a 'hello world' script that I could start learning from?
