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         


        

Answer 1

Declarative is not necessarily more (or less) pythonic than functional IMHO. I think a layered approach would be the best (from buttom up):

1. A native layer that accepts and returns python data types.
2. A functional dynamic layer.
3. One or more declarative/object-oriented layers.

Similar to Elixir + SQLAlchemy.
