I looked at your work when I was thinking about this. The Tk canvas widget is a nice one, perhaps we should use its model. I've heard it was inspired by Joel Bartlett's work on ezd (see http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-91-6.pdf). The ezd work is very nice, recommended reading. In fact, when I started thinking about a Py3K toolkit, I was thinking in terms of an all-Python solution implemented on top of ezd-style canvases built on top of pycairo. You'd still need platform-specific frobs for the Mac menubar and the Windows taskbar, etc., though. When I looked at PyGUI it seemed close enough to "right" to pick. I'm still not quite sure what the PyGUI "canvas" is; it might be possible to have one that corresponds to a graphical object in the ezd model. The GTK+ canvas widget is in turn based on the Tk canvas and ezd, too. http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/usenix2000/freenix/full_papers/quintero/quintero_html/node3.html).
