I'm not sure if this counts as simple but Adobe has specified MXML for
this purpose and there are competing technologies like XUL or XAML.
For the case of MXML Bruce Eckel wrote an article about combining Flex
and Python via XMLRPC a while ago on Artima. There are also new
directions like Adobe AIR and MS Silverlight ( or Mono Moonlight )
whereas the latter supports Python also as a scripting language on the
client side. I'd recommend to type "RIA" in your preferred search
engine.
