Hi, In answer to the first question:
As far as I know, Python Tools for Visual Studio has a WPF GUI Designer which works with IronPython. https://pytools.codeplex.com/ SharpDevelop 4.4 has a Windows Forms Designer with Support for IronPython (which seems to generate C# code under the hood, so it's not pure python). http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/ Glade might work for GTK# which is accessible from IronPython, too. https://glade.gnome.org/ http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp Any other .NET compatible toolkit should do when you reference the generated assembly from your IronPython code. I did try neither of them myself, but they might be worth a closer look.
