Different languages have different GUI toolkits, but it looks very difficult to achieve attractive user interfaces as good as we can using HTML and CSS with less effort. I don't do my application in javascript as I doubt if it has all the required libraries and I want to do it in python.

How do I use rendering engines like gecko, webkit etc in python? Which one will be more suited to work with python?.Is there any 'only html/css' rendering engine without javascript?

Will it be easy to write event handlers for DOM events and manipulate DOM in python?

You should check out Mozilla's XUL project. It allows you to build apps with the ease of HTML and "style" the GUI with actual CSS.
