Do other Python GUI toolkits require this?

PyObjC is not a GUI toolkit, it's a bridge between Python and 
Objective-C (a smalltalk-inspired OO superset of ansi C).

And FWIW, under the hood, Python also uses this 2-stages 
instanciation/initialisation scheme (methods __new__ and __init__), even 
if it doesn't requires you to call them both explicitly.
