I've been thinking for a while that it would be a big help if there were one, standardised module in the stdlib for handling async events, and all the other gui toolkits etc. were made to use it.

Wouldn't it have to be the Tcl event loop then?

I image he means a standardized Abstract Base Class, which each GUI toolkit would subclass. That's more or less how Twisted's "reactors" work. That way non-GUI async code can just use the ABC and not worry about what event loop is running underneath (be it TCL, GTK, or just poll()).
