Frontier-like app in Python

Has anyone given any thought to a Frontier-like app, with persistant object
database, built-in script/outline/text editing/debugging, all the power of
Python modules for web/mail/SOAP client/server, etc.?

It'd be a cross between Smalltalk and gnu emacs on steroids (to use some
available metaphors).

Some folks have given thought to making Python available as yet another
language under Frontier, but that's not what I mean--I think you'd need
something more natively Pythonic.

There's a lot of synergy in the Frontier system, because of its combination
of features, and I think such a tool in the Python world, with a
full-fledged Python bias, could be quite interesting.
