Zenoss is written in Python and uses Zope for the web GUI. It has
a large community around it and provides all the enterprise
features you'd need from such a system.

    http://www.zenoss.com/

and Zenoss can use Nagios plugins as well.

I'd see a chance for such a new tool, though: Zenoss can be very
complicated to setup, esp. if you're not using SNMP on all your
machines.
