Of course, the plans are for a bizobj 'builder' from a given
connection. I've deliberately not implemented it now, because it
really need a full IDE environment.

Again, planned for the IDE.

A severe limitation of wxPython. Both Paul and I have tried to work
with this, but it is simply too much of a hack to work with dialogs/
forms right now. I would much prefer that we had the ability to
simply change a 'Modal' property, but it is very difficult to
accomplish that in wxPython now.

Have you ever tried hand-editing the cdxml files? I do it all the
time - just change the SlotCount property for a sizer, and then add a
basic element for the control I want to insert. Save, and then launch
the cdxml in the Class Designer to customize the added control. Works
great!
