How would you design a very “Pythonic” UI framework?

Question

I have been playing with the Ruby library \"shoes\". Basically you can write a GUI application in the following way:

Shoes.app do
  t = para \"Not clicked!\"
  b

Personally, I would try to implement JQuery like API in a GUI framework.

class MyWindow(Window):
    contents = (
        para('Hello World!'),
        button('Click Me', id='ok'),
        para('Epilog'),
    )

    def __init__(self):
        self['#ok'].click(self.message)
        self['para'].hover(self.blend_in, self.blend_out)

    def message(self):
        print 'You clicked!'

    def blend_in(self, object):
        object.background = '#333333'

    def blend_out(self, object):
        object.background = 'WindowBackground'
