    	I've recently been working on a system that lets you do that kind 
of thing.  It's a set of metaclasses that wrap the wxPython classes so 
you define your GUI with nested class structures.  Certain things are 
hard here because of the way class definitions are handled in Python, 
but I am making progress.

    	If anyone's interested, you can see an example of what the GUI code 
looks like at http://www.brenbarn.net/misc/idealgui.txt .  This is code 
that actually produces a working program with my current setup.  It 
won't work for anyone else, of course, because I haven't made my library 
available yet.  My main goal here, though, is to get it so the code 
LOOKS nice, so just seeing how the code looks will give you an idea of 
the style.
