You should also take a look at Dabo. Like PythonCard, it wraps wxPython, but it completely does away with the whole getter/setter approach, the ugly ALL_CAPS_CONSTANTS that wxPython unfortunately inherited from its C++ roots, and all those other non-Pythonic irritants. While Dabo is a complete 3-tier framework for developing database apps, you can just use the GUI tier. I don't do database stuff, and so I just use the dabo.ui module.
