Bear in mind that I don't know what I am talking about, but I stumbled 
across 'ZK' the other day put it on my list of thinkgs to check out.  It 
provides a range of XUL and XHTML widgets, see:

http://zk1.sourceforge.net/

Has anyone tried this?  I would really like to find a GUI toolkit that 
allowed me to program XUL in Firefox using Python.  ZK is not quite 
that, but it looks close.
