I have not used but according to
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro
"Qt also includes Qt Designer, a graphical user interface designer.
PyQt is able to generate Python code from Qt Designer. It is also
possible to add new GUI controls written in Python to Qt Designer."
Qt designer is fantastic http://trolltech.com/products/qt/features/

Learning GUI programming fundamentals is best accomplished with a
straight text editor IMO (vim, scintilla, whatever).
Dragging and dropping widgets from a tools palette is convenient, but
not the best way to learn GUI programming, as such IDEs tend to
insulate from the details, not teach them -- why VB in general is not
a good learning environment, a common mistake many schools make.
John Zelle's book using Tk is a good one.
I recommend intro classes go through quite a number of widget
libraries, each time doing nothing too difficult, using Gtk, wx, Qt,
even AWT via Jython maybe. Students get a feel for what's common
(window concept), what's different (e.g. event model).
Most importantly, a lot of GUI development = web pages for visuals
these days, not thick client at all, so if the point of the course
really is GUI development, then JavaScript/CSS, some exposure to web
frameworks, e.g. ASP, is a must.

Hi all,
I'm looking at using a GUI IDE for helping my high school students
to learn
GUI programming. The kind of interface which Visual Basic
offers... but in
Python.
I've found Blackadder so far, but its not free (or finished!) Do
any of you
have any (ideally free) suggestions?
Thanks
