I've used PyGTK and Pytave (the latter I've written parts of) to create 
GUI frontends in Python, calling Octave and presenting results. It's 
very flexible. Remember you get all the power of GTK+ this way; the 
Glade-3 GUI editor, XML GUI definitions and so on. Never mind the fact 
that you get to use Python and Octave side by side, each in the context 
where they excel.
