Windoze versions of TclTk can be downloaded and work on anything from
Windows95 through XP (all tried), and on the Mac too. activestate makes
one of the better packages (they also make activestate perl). Tcl/Tk has
a wiki that answers a lot of questions. Here are some urls:

You have to try tcl to understand the difference in implementation
effort required. tcl is a 50-minute solution to nearly all lightweight
gui programming tasks. It has very little competition imho. Python and
Perl-tk both use Tcl's gui library (Tk).
