This is exacly what Boa is, and its already usable today.
It takes care of all the sizer stuff too - you can merrily 
forget your hard won knowledge and get on with
coding the app, instead of spending time hassling
with arcane GUI rules and regulations.

And the help works reasonably well, as it integrates the
python and wxpython documentation.

+1 - where would we have been without ctypes?

Back to this thread - has anybody used the new pythoncard stuff?
I seem to remember a thread a while ago on clp about new
wine in old bottles - I have never used pythoncard, but it sounded
as if it could be a viable alternative for Boa - but it needs someone
to comment who knows both the systems.
