The use of constraints to let the user specify where to put things but still allow enough flexibility to do OS-dependant things is interesting (and possibly novel?): http://toga.readthedocs.org/en/latest/introduction/tutorial-...

I think that's basically the same as Cocoa's Autolayout, which is also constraint-based. It's a good model, though.
