What do you intend to do in it that you can't do in python? Seems unnecessarily complex to me. And on a desktop, speed issues are kind of irrelevant - Python is snappy enough on modern hardware for most things.
My style would be to have the gui connect via pipes to the local backend as a separate process, with a third process if there are any communications needed to off box dbs. But that is just the way I think - YMMV - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
