IMHO those RAD tools in other languages are in place to avoid writing much
boring boiler plate code. At least that is what those tools usually
produce: tons of code that the programmer should leave alone or the round
trip, RAD tool → code → RAD tool, does not work anymore. If you come
across such a situation while programming in Python it is almost always
easy to factor out most of it. Python itself is a RAD tool.
