On this list I think we can concluded whether or not Python 3 needs a
standard GUI toolkit.  The technical discussions about what form PyGUI takes
to be that candidate (whether keyboard shortcuts should be introduced with
"&" or "_", what functionality belongs in a canvas widget, etc) belong on a
PyGUI-specific list.  Someone arriving on the scene in a couple months won't
know that substantial technical discussion took place here.  Once he does
realize that, he's going to have to wade through archives full of other
Python 3-related stuff to get to the PyGUI-related stuff.  People discussing
other things about Python 3 aren't going to want PyGUI technical discussions
mixed in with discussions about extensions to argument passing.
