PyGUI as a standard GUI API for Python?

 ... of course, i'm well aware of the reasons _why_ this isn't
supported - in either of Qt4 or Gtk2.  it's because automatic-
resizing, and correct  (i.e. exact) size-hinting, is a complete lairy
nightmare to implement.  browsers get it right, because they have to,
and the trade-off is a rather awkward judder-judder-displaying of
content (which, for example, gives the use of HTML tables such a bad
name).

all of which of course makes the desktop-app developers' job just that
little bit more awkward...
