I can't see any things about the tcl language that make
it especially good for describing GUIs, and even if
there were such things, Tkinter pretty much hides the
existence of tcl completely, so you wouldn't get any
advantage from them in Python anyway.

(And BTW the DSL conventionally used to express regexps is
*horrible* for anything but the very simplest ones, IMO.)
