Just to say that would obviously be a lot easier and cleaner like this:

ui = '''
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <interface>
        <requires lib='gtk' version='4.0'/>
        <object class='GtkWindow' id='main'>
            <child>
                <object class='GtkGLArea' id='draw'/>
            </child>
        </object>
    </interface>
'''
