A lot of GUI frameworks are based on similar ideas, many of which 
basically originated in Smalltalk and its "model-view-controller" 
approach.

Although I have not really tried hacking GUIs in Python yet, it 
seems to me that one of the better approaches is the AnyGUI project

   http://anygui.sf.net/

which allows you to use a number of different technologies behind 
one abstract interface. Maybe you want to take a look at that?
