+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 it, all GUI interactions are invoked
+by simple function calls.
+
+easygui is different from other GUIs in that it 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 do so. 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. If you later
+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, etcetera.
