Integrating a Python GUI into a PowerBuilder App

I work as a full-time Powerbuilder developer, and wish for pretty much *any*
other development tool than it to do my work (even if the language was
excellent, Powerbuilder's IDE is /nasty/. But as it turns out Powerbuilder's
language -- Powerscript -- is even worse anyways :).

The problem I can see though is coming up for an alternative to datawindow
controls/objects. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in what you're
trying to do, but am more hoping to gain some insight from anyone else's
replies to this thread.
