There is nothing remotely like the VB or Delphi GUI builders. There are some tools somewhat similar to the Java Swing and FX GUI builders with varying degrees of bugginess. And there are a few bespoke GUI type tools such as Dabo for building specific types of applications. But most Python GUI developers seem to prefer to just hard code the Python, once you get used to it there's not much time saving with the GUI tools. The real time consuming stuff in building GUIs is getting the basic design right and keeping all the controls, keyboard bindings and menus in sync. State management in other words. I did a deep dive examination of GUI builders back around v2.6 and came away less than enthused. Things may have improved since then but I've seen no real evidence of that. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
