If you want an interface building program you'll have to stick with
tcl/tk and use XF which allows you to build screens then write the
code to do the real work. There is no screen builder for
tkperl/tkpython that I know of - whether you can use XF to build the
screens then merge this with tkpython, I don't know.
I don't know of a free X/Motif screen builder and I don't know of
anything higher level than these languages that has interface building
capabilties - perhaps somebody else ?

ncurses is an enhanced form of curses which is a character based
screen handling package, ie. it doesn't work with X windows directly,
you'd have to run it in an xterm (no mouse handling).
