wxPython is GPL licensed and not popular enough to be available on a lot 
of systems already.  I've spent enough time fighting with installing 
wxWidgets (for pgAdmin) to know that I really don't want to push that 
install onto end-users, and due to the license it's impractical to just 
bundle in some situations.

There's no need for a fancy look here anyway, the only one I ever 
envisioned was a simple grid showing the recommendations the user could 
update before accepting.  In general here, if it doesn't ship with the 
stock Python, there would have to be a really, really compelling reason to 
use any external library that adds more dependencies.
