So I thought. Then I came across a framework (Cappucinno.org) and a Visual
Designer (280Atlas.com) written entirely in JavaScript (well, Objective-J which
gets compiled to JavaScript). Check out 280Slides.com or
http://githubissues.heroku.com/#280north/cappuccino for examples of what can be
done using JavaScript, and 280Atlas.com for a video of their visual designer.
If that designer can be written in JavasScript (it runs on the web, BTW, and
only as an after-thought as a desktop app), then it can be done in Python.
Having worked for 20 years in a windows-based development tool that painted
controls (giving them fake hwnd's) to get enough speed to run on Windows, this
was a real game-changer for me.

Yes, this is slick, and it looks nearly native, but, um...it's still
running inside a browser. It's not a desktop app.
