Well, now I can guess some of the answers to my questions.  You 
mentioned Windows, but apparently that was a red herring.  You are 
apparently writing an objective C application (Cocoa) for the iPhone, 
and using the pyobjc module to translate Python to Objective C.

so the answer to your original problem (mouse going to 0,0) could need 
some combination of Mac development tools, Cocoa runtime environment, 
etc. to solve.  You're not writing cross-platform, so you've rejected 
the standard guis for doing this sort of thing.

Perhaps the page at
     http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/gui/

could be of help in choosing a different gui toolkit.

But I can't figure I'd be of any help, since I don't have a Mac, nor a 
license for their development environment, nor any docs for either.
