You may want to see entry #5.8 of the Python FAQ.

My starting point was James Henstridge's gtkcons.py in the
examples/ide directory of pygtk distribution.

Never used Mathematica, so probably I didn't get the whole idea.
Anyway, here is a quick script featuring a stock of (say) ten
interpreters using GtkEntr(ies) and a GtkTable, hoping to give you
an hint.
The main point is that there can exist only one sys.stdout, so to
use several output "devices" you must reassign to sys.stdout before
each code execution.
As for Gtk widgets, gnumeric uses GnomeCanvas, but I haven't studied
it yet.
