Actually, the Tkinter wrapper misses one feature of grid in Tcl/Tk: You 
can write something like

grid .a .b
grid .c .d

to lay out a GUI 2x2 grid using "ASCII-art". There is a package in Tcl, 
gridplus2 (http://www.satisoft.com/tcltk/gridplus2/example1.html) which 
allows the design of quite complex screens from such ASCII-art - a 
Python translation should not be that difficult (but nobody does it)

Huh? Slices and list comprehensions go a long way. What syntax can you 
imagine that goes beyond that?
