If you use wxWidgets, you may want to have a look at projects like Boa-constructor or PythonCard. If you use QT/KDE, Eric3 offers good integration with QT Designer IIRC. Now as you can see, the problem with RAD tools is that they are specific to a given GUI toolkit. Python runs on a lot of platforms, and some of these platforms (ie Linux) are not tied to a specific GUI toolkit. So integrating the RAD tool in the IDE means you can't use this IDE with other GUI toolkits. Also, there's a tradition in the *n*x world about preferring small, highly specialized tools over huge monolithic do-it-all applications. As an example, I daily use half a dozen languages, and I wouldn't like to have to learn half a dozen IDEs. I'm much more productive with a good code editor, the command line, and a few external tools when needed.
