Erm, and what has _robustness_ with fast & less overhead to do? It's 
exactly the other way round, a python program is much less likely to 
crash that C/C++, and if so in manners that are much easier to manage 
and fix.

I've done extensive GUI-development with PyQt, and can say that it's a 
very productive and powerful combination. And GUI-code usually isn't 
troublesome performance-wise.
