Well, by finished I mean including all the cool bits of wxPython, and
learning from it's mistakes. ;-)

Seriously though, I took a short look at wxPython and found it painfull to
hack (and a pain to get to work with Twisted).  Adding the features I listed
would take quite a bit of work, but once done I don't see any advantage to
wxPython except existing user base.

Then again, I haven't really used wxPython, and my experience coding Guis is
limited to Swing, .Net, and Pyui.
