Another idea: floatcanvas. I'm using floatcanvas in Dabo to draw manufacturing drawings expressed in real world sizes and coordinates, with the user being able to click on a component of a drawing and edit the properties of the component, and recalculate/refresh the drawing. Floatcanvas isn't wrapped for Dabo, but I subclassed it and wrote some wrapper classes around it based on Dabo classes for my use. Just an idea.
