I wrote a script that creates a gui using pygtk. The gui consists of a vertical scrollbar and two buttons. The user picks a number (degrees Fahrenheit) with the scrollbar and then clicks the convert button. A functions converts the number to its equivalent in degrees Celsius and prints a response to the screen. The quit buttons ends the script. Tell me what you think!
