Python Card alternatives?

[rzed]

Desktop apps don't seem to be the wave of the future, but they still 
serve a useful purpose today. They can be ideal for a quick database 
table management screen, or a data entry front end for a program with 
a bunch of parameters. It's not easy enough to build a quick utility 
with a GUI front end, though. Wax and PythonCard (and maybe others) 
tried to hit that niche, but development on both is spotty at best. 
Some claim that Dabo's gui builder is a good one for this purpose, and 
maybe it can be. Are there any other, better solutions?

I've been looking at Rebol lately, and it has some points of interest. 
I much prefer Python as a language, but Rebol View's layout 
specifications are wonderfully concise, and the support code seems to 
be fairly straightforward as well. Has anyone tried to mimic their 
approach in Python?
