Learning a GUI framework is a long, tedious process. Squishy tries to make GUI development in Python much faster so you can present end users with an intuitive frontend. A common impedance in creating GUI applications is registering events with the GUI elements. Squishy uses an approach similar to HTML where you specify event attributes such as onclick and provide the function you would like called.

Currently, Squishy is focused on making GUI applications with Python's Tkinter but there are plans to expand to use other libraries like wxPython or PyGTK.
