It's very hard to write a good gui framework, very very few people have managed to do it well. Microsoft, Sun and Google have all had the resources to hire very good developers and designers to dedicate to the task and still haven't managed to do it well. There's not the expertise or the investment in the Python community to build a strong Python GUI solution. From an educational viewpoint I see that there could be value in having a pure Python solution, but in terms of having a GUI solution that people will actually want to use in their apps, I'm dubious that it's achievable.
