How would you design a very “Pythonic” UI framework?

Question

I have been playing with the Ruby library \"shoes\". Basically you can write a GUI application in the following way:

Shoes.app do
  t = para \"Not clicked!\"
  b         


        

Answer 1

## All you need is this class:

class MainWindow(Window):
    my_button = Button('Click Me')
    my_paragraph = Text('This is the text you wish to place')
    my_alert = AlertBox('What what what!!!')

    @my_button.clicked
    def my_button_clicked(self, button, event):
        self.my_paragraph.text.append('And now you clicked on it, the button that is.')

    @my_paragraph.text.changed
    def my_paragraph_text_changed(self, text, event):
        self.button.text = 'No more clicks!'

    @my_button.text.changed
    def my_button_text_changed(self, text, event):
        self.my_alert.show()


## The Style class is automatically gnerated by the framework
## but you can override it by defining it in the class:
##
##      class MainWindow(Window):
##          class Style:
##              my_blah = {'style-info': 'value'}
##
## or like you see below:

class Style:
    my_button = {
        'background-color': '#ccc',
        'font-size': '14px'}
    my_paragraph = {
        'background-color': '#fff',
        'color': '#000',
        'font-size': '14px',
        'border': '1px solid black',
        'border-radius': '3px'}

MainWindow.Style = Style

## The layout class is automatically generated
## by the framework but you can override it by defining it
## in the class, same as the Style class above, or by
## defining it like this:

class MainLayout(Layout):
    def __init__(self, style):
        # It takes the custom or automatically generated style class upon instantiation
        style.window.pack(HBox().pack(style.my_paragraph, style.my_button))

MainWindow.Layout = MainLayout

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run(App(main=MainWindow))

It would be relatively easy to do in python with a bit of that metaclass python magic know how. Which I have. And a knowledge of PyGTK. Which I also have. Gets ideas?
