Rather than writing a windowing toolkit from the low-level, I would rather like to see some wrapper for existing windowing toolkit which uses more pythonic idioms. Most popular python GUI toolkit currently in use are only a simple thin wrapper over the library they're wrapping and exposes a lot of the design considerations of the language that the toolkit was originally written in. Yes, even Tkinter that comes with the standard lib is a hack on top of python and looks much more Tcl-ish than pythonic. I have always had the idea of writing a windowing toolkit wrapper that creatively uses python features for maximum expressiveness (e.g. decorator, with-statement, for-each), but never got the time to write anything like that.
Well I suppose you could piggyback on tk for that and rewrapping tkinter to be more pythonic is probably more doable than rewriting it from scratch.
