That should definitely be possible.

(I feel I should warn you that Anygui is far from stable/finished
yet, though...)

Great :)

In theory, we are. It's planned for release 0.2a2. We haven't agreed
on/designed the API for it yet, though.

Hm. I think you should take a look at the modules mswgui.py (or
possibly dwgui.py) and gtkgui.py for ideas on how this works.

If you want to put the TreeWidget code in your own program (for now),
you can test which backend is running with the backend() function.

There is, but it's not completely updated. See the nondist package in
CVS. Under irfc, you'll find a file called irfc-0005.txt -- the Anygui
Style Guidelines.

It mentions the use of underscores in internal names -- we have now
switched to mixed case for all names except environment variables and
uppercase constant names.

Anyway, I suggest taking a look at the source, including the backends.
