I bloody wish a VB6/Delphi/WinForms-like IDE was available for Python. Coding anything relevant in VB is pain, as is creating GUIs in Python.

Threaded GUIs in python is a... fun experience.

There is Boa Constructor (the name seems to be a play on C++ Builder, the C++ counterpart of Delphi): http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/

Though it has been a while since its last update.

It's more than a decade old. I doubt it's going to work with modern versions of Python and libraries. It's very sad it has been abandoned. The fact it has been probably means it was very difficult to maintain.
