These are rather complicated. The basic GUI library - used for windows, menus and buttons is Qt. Qt is free software on Unix, but commercial for Windows (and will be commercial for OS X). I don't possess a C++ compiler for Windows, so I can't create the library that binds Qt to Python on Windows, even if I had a license for Qt for Windows. But now Troll Tech has released a gratis version of Qt for Windows, with a special non-commercial license, and the author of the Python bindings will make available a gratis binary of the bindings. From that moment on, Kura will run on Windows again. The same is planned for OS X. Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org
