No, Kiwi is not dependent on glade like those are, but you can use gazpacho
to lay out Kiwi widgets.

Django is either a Python web framework or a spaghetti western.  (My only
practical experience with a web framework was Nevow, and I'm still not over
that trauma.)

Kiwi is a wrapper over the pygtk bindings to the gtk GUI library.  Some
pygtk tasks, like creating a multi-column table, can be pretty tedious (and
rather opaque to the beginner); kiwi tries to make this simpler and more
tansparently object oriented.

I haven't actually used it yet, just looked at the examples and contemplated
how I would use it to clean up a lot of crap boilerplate code (always better
to farm that out to someone with more energy).  I suggest downloading it and
playing with the examples.
