I've had great results using glade and python3.

Glade provides a graphical tool for designing GUI windows.  Once the GUI is designed, glade writes out an XML file which can be read by either C or Python programs.

Reading the XML from python3 requires that you import gi.repository.  The python code after that is straightforward.
