wxPython 
I picked up the book wxPython in Action the other day and have found it to be quite good. wxPython allows you to use the wxWidgets C++ class library from within python so you can create cross platform GUIs.
So far I have played around with creating some basic windows and menus and played with some simple event handling. It supports standard windows as well as the MDI type found in the OPML Editor. The event handling system seems to work pretty well too. What makes wxWidgets so cool, and by extension wxPython, is that the toolkit wraps OS native controls so you get the look and feel of whatever OS you are running you app on.
What I would really like to try, just for fun, is to create a python library for working with OPML and then try and put together a very stripped down outlining tool and release it under the GPL. I would not expect it to compete with Dave's editor since he probably has been working on the code base since I was four, but it does sound like an interesting project.
Issues
OK. So changing the number of days I show on my homepage forced the server to rebuild it with the missing Aug 20th post.
Test! I know I have and opml file in my blog directory for Aug 20th but it really does not want to show up on the server.
