I don't know exactly why this project died, but I'd start with a
Pythonic variant of wxPython.  I've read many discussions about the
people who didn't like the wxPython's C++ style, so there are
chances to get fellow developers and users.  You must reach the
critical mass quickly in order to get a survivable project, and
being not too far away from an existing one is a good stating point.

Possibly Dabo manages such a thing.

Tschö,
Torsten.
