pyui is sort of an "all or nothing" kind of thing. it takes over the 
display surface and input events once you start it. this means you 
could potentially use it for screens like config, load, and save. 
it's strength is not for doing in game interfaces. unfortunately 
there's nothing to really fill this position. currently there are a 
few folks working on something like this, but nothing that's ready 
for business.

depending on the type of interface you need. it can be very simple 
to create your own. simple tools like push bottons, toggles, and 
whatnot are not difficult. even simple menus and text boxes won't 
take much to add. but anything more than that and it will become a 
big project.
