One last thing. I realize this would be a big move and detract from core development. Almar Klein <https://github.com/almarklein> is the creator of Flexx. Almar also is the creator of Pyzo which is a Python IDE which currently uses PyQt as the GUI Toolkit. Unless I'm mistaken I believe the intention is to eventually move Pyzo over to using Flexx.
It seems to me that you (Edward) and Mr. Klein may have some common development goals. I think that a dialogue between the two of you regarding using Flexx as the GUI toolkit for a Python IDE would be mutually beneficial. Just a thought.
