[Twisted-Python] Is twisted the right tool for this job?

[David Pratt]

Hi Bob. Please follow this up on the wxPython list to get help with 
wxPython. An IEHtmlWindow should give you what you need if you are 
wanting to display HTML in Windows with CSS. There is a recently 
published book on wxPython and good documentation on the wiki and in the 
source of the wxPython demo . It is capable gui, however you will not 
get far unless you do some reading to better understand its capabilities.

Regards,
David
