I agree that this is a good idea. Doesn't PyQt require a commercial license on Win32? The de-coupled backend is a good idea, and I would love to have alternatives - I'm a bit slanted towards wxPython, myself. ;) Heck, I would love to have an curses-based alternative to manage, monitor, and provide an interface to restart all ZEO clients and ZSS boxes in a terminal; this would make for easier remote admin via SSH from potentially different client platforms. For larger ZEO clusters, it would make a lot of sense to have consolidated management. If there is any interest in a framework that could provide the underlying functionality to multiple UI front-ends, as well as automated stuff like alerts/monitoring, I would certainly be interested in using and contributing to development of such a beast.

I've been thinking about something like this as well; PyQt would definately be the way to go. The backend should be de-coupled from the UI, of course.

Zope-Dev'ers,
Just for fun, I made a mockup (using QT Designer) of a Zope server control and monitoring GUI. It's purely nonfunctional--just an idea. Check it out here:

It's not fancy, but it's complete: you can watch and control multiple servers from a single place. The flashing yellow LED-like indicators would give you a great deal of confidence that information is flowing. It sure would be appealing. Anyone want to take this on? :-)
