Which is where the contradiction comes into play: to use the actual native widgets, you have to write some C (or Objective-C). Of course, on Windows, people have faked the native widgets so many times that you could probably get away with it if you made a really good fake, though there are still a lot of gotchas that go with that (accessibility and all that "other stuff"). On Linux, it's not like there's really a standard anyway. That leaves OS X as the really troublesome one. >WxPython is fast because it is made in C - it uses the native GUI elements of >the OS which are also made in C.
