If you're looking at web frameworks, you should also look at 
http://www.tornadoweb.org/.  It's more of a HTTP engine than a 
application framework, but has some elements of both.  We use it for 
lots of small HTTP tools we write.

But, to go back to the OP's request:

combined with:

I'm not sure there's a good answer to that.  If you're talking GUIs, 
windows, and extensible widgets, it really sounds like the kinds of 
things you're trying to do are going to require javascript.  I'm not a 
huge fan of javascript, but the reality today is that for any kind of 
interactive UI in a web browser, you need to go there.  Well, or Flash, 
but that's probably even more evil.

You might want to look at [[Dart (programming language)]], but that's 
more of a research project than a tool at the moment.  Check out that 
wikipedia page, however, it's got some pointers to other similar 
projects people are working on.
