This is exaclty one thing to be done. Using Python+Glade+Gnome is a very good solution
However
1. there is a lack of documentation, we start to reference and write relative doc for that (http://www.ofset.org/projects/doc/doc.html)
2. there is some GPL compatibility problem with Python > 1.6 license and the GPL (however there is hope this will be fixed soon)
