There is Boa Constructor that uses wxWindows for the GUI. It has a GUI designer built in. Runs on both Windows and Linux. For those who like Borland's Delphi or C++ Builder's IDE, Boa will look really similar.
The xml files that Glade generates can be easily used in Python.
The only potential problem with using Python in the SDR applications is that you must do some things in C or C++ (if certain needed modules have not already been done by someone else and are available) and some people may not be comfortable programming in C or C++. We can see this being the case currently where people are comfortable with the C# code in PowerSDR but have a very hard time with the C code in DttSP.
While we are on the python subject:
I have been playing a bit with IronPython 0.9 on Mono 1.1.9. With IronPython I can load .NET/Mono assemblies like you can load modules in standard Python. This gives the possiblility of dynamically stringing together objects from the SharpDSP library (or other managed assemblies) written in C# in a similar manner that GNURadio uses Python to string together radio objects with their underlying code written in C++. This is probably the tract I will take with HPSDR.

Subject: [Flexradio] Visual multi-OS Platform for developing SDR software.
For the last year or so I've been looking on and off for a visual platform that will let me generate applications for Windows, Linux, and OS X without having to do 20 jumps through hoops or have to borrow money from the bank to pay for it. The only thing so far that fits the bill is Lisp, incredibly powerful but there is a huge learning curve associated with it.
I downloaded MS C# beta version from their web site and set it up, and I'm not impressed. I don't have fastest PC on the Planet but I also don't have the slowest, It's a 1700MHz Athalon with 1.5 Gig of Ram and a 1.2 Terabyte HD drive array (I use it for video editing).
The IDE was so incredibly slow, it would take several seconds to do anything, click on a button to see the code, wait. open a file, wait, call up a tool bar, wait. It's to the point where is not very productive, anything you do is accompanied by having to wait.
For the folks out there that use MS C#, is that your experience or did you have to buy a really fast machine to get it to move it's carcass?
Frustrated!

I fail to see why doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results every time is insanity: I've almost proved it isn't; only a few more tests now and I'm sure results will differ this time ...
