With respect it wouldn't, since IDLE doesn;t include a GUI builder. I think Mike's cri-de-couer is for a tool that makes it as easy as Visual Studio to put a GUI-based application together.
Should the Python community really care about this, I suspect Eclipse might be the best way.
If Eclipse really is the answer I'll have to learn more about it, but from the little I know so far it seems like a very heavyweight solution. Not that Visual Studio is becomingly trim, of course - it's a fine example of bloatware, but it does do a useful job as a GUI builder. Perhaps there's a lesson somewhere in there ...

About the closest thing to what Mike might want is Boa Constructor, which does have a GUI building tool. It is not as polished as the Visual Studio GUI builder, but there are a lot of controls there that can be used. It requires the wxWindows toolkit.
Sorry, I meant to call them "widgets", not "controls". And Boa Constructor needs wxPython, which comes with wxWindows.
BTW, has anyone used or tried WingIDE? It does look like a really polished product.
