Python GUI Toolkit for Text-Based Game?

Question

Quick to learn is pretty important, but I need just some basic GUI tools, for Ubuntu OS but would be nice to have multi-OS compatibility. Any suggestions?

The basic dynamics of the intended game just include a text input and some set reaction
frames.

Thanks in advance.

I guessed it means sprites drawn to coincide with the text-based interactions, but I agree some additional details would be nice, as that would take it beyond text-based. — Suboptimus

You can give the game a little more flavor if you use Ren'Py rather than doing it all yourself.

Do you mean with text-based menus and graphics as well?

curses is included in the standard Python distribution.

But perhaps that is too text-based?

For basic toolkit, I think tkinter which comes with python is okay. If you want to have graphical toolkit with more functionality, I would suggest you to take a look at wxpython which is cross-platform compatible.
