EasyGUI is a module for very simple, very easy GUI programming in Python.

Experienced Pythonistas need support for quick and dirty GUI features.
New Python programmers need GUI capabilities that don't require any
knowledge of Tkinter, frames, widgets, callbacks or lambda. This is
what EasyGUI provides. Using EasyGUI, all GUI interactions are invoked
by simple function calls. 
EasyGUI is different from other GUIs in that EasyGUI is NOT event-driven.
It allows you to program in a traditional linear fashion, and to put up
dialogs for simple input and output when you need to. If you have not yet
learned the event-driven paradigm for GUI programming, EasyGUI will allow
you to be productive with very basic tasks immediately. Later, if you wish
to make the transition to an event-driven GUI paradigm, you can move to an
event-driven style with a more powerful GUI package such as anygui,
PythonCard, Tkinter, wxPython, etc. EasyGui is there just to do very basic
stuff. More elaborate stuff should be done with more powerful tools.
EasyGUI is built on top of Tkinter.
