Thanks, then PyGTK it is! ;-)

I don't know what you mean with the issue "synchronization of program 
counters", but as far as my simple GUI application goes, it just works. 
At least for now...

Another question related to GUI; say we have n players which all have 
some secret input. Is it possible to make a progress bar of how many 
inputs that is currently submitted? Or is this information unavailable?
