One reason is the following.
Quote from fedora.redhat.com:
>>>>>
The configuration tools are written with the following development
tools: 
      * Python2.2 - for general development
      * PyGtk2 - for the graphical user interfaces
<<<<<

An other reason is that I like iptables as it is, but I also like
clicking with the mouse.
So I try to write a Python program controlled by mouse and reflecting
iptables.
