So I need to create a GUI mode version of my program. That the customer
should be able to see a progress bar. What kind of GUI toolkit should I use
for this? I would like this to be lightweight, preferably under 5MB with a
very easy API for simple things like create a dialog, put some labels and a
progress bar on it, and finally close the dialog when the program is
finished. (And of course, needs to work with cx Freeze.)
I do not need a full featured cross platform GUI toolkit. What are my
options?
I have been looking at this:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming
The only Windows specific lightweight frameworks are venster and Ocean but
they have not been updated since ages. I know that I can do this using the
win32 API, but I don't really want to learn how to build a dialog using
win32 API calls and then process window message queues.... wxPython and Qt
are well known but they are not exactly lightweight.
There's absolutely no reason to go Windows-specific. Use Tkinter -
it's pretty light-weight. Comes with most Python distros. See how it
goes in terms of code size - if it's unsuitable, then look at others,
but start with the obvious option.

As IDLE comes with all Python distros shouldn't the same apply to
tkinter as that's what IDLE is based around?
