0 | 0 | Is there a way to create a 'kiosk mode' in wxpython under Windows (98 - 7) where the application disables you from breaking out of the app using Windows keys, alt-tab, alt-f4, and ctrl+alt+delete? | false | 2,399,812 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | wxPython alone cannot be done with that.
You need to do Low Level Keyboard Hook with C/C++ or with equivalent ctypes, for

1 | 0 | Are there any UI widgets available to the python side of Google App Engine? I'd like something like the collapsed/expanded views of Google Groups threads. Are these type things limited to the GWT side? | false | 2,402,128 | 0.197375 | 0 | 0 | 3 | There is no difference in the amount of built in widgets available to the python and java sides of app engine. Neither side has any! App Engine is primarily a back end technology. It allows you to use pretty much whatever web framework you want for your presentation layer, subject to constraints that Alex mentions.
