title: Is there a simple way to get a text-entry field in python?
body: <p>I am writing a program using matplotlib and would like to have the option for the user to input text or numbers. There currently is not a text-entry widget in matplotlib however (to my knowledge).</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to get user text without either a) making them enter it through the terminal or b) writing a GUI/using a GUI package such as tkinter or pygtk? </p>
  
  <p>For example, a simple library that would allow me to create a text-entry window.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
