Glade + PyGTK + libglade does the trick. libglade (exposed as gtk.glade
in Python) allows you to load Glade interface files (the raw XML Glade
saves your interfaces as) and then connect to various signals, access
the widgets, etc.

About as fast as anything I've found. Much slicker than VB (the only
previous RAD experience I'd had that I could actually do anythin in).
