DrPython is better for me >right now, because it works. :-) Code folding should work in DrPython. Preferences => File types and click folding check box, then the folding menu in View menu should work. It is on "our" todo list for Drpython. I plan on January or February to make a thorough test on Linux. BTW: For that I'm (we're) looking for tester and developer for all that things. >But none of them are practical nor easy >to use.

Also tried boaconstructor, but it was very unstable.

Did you try already Eric3 (with PyQt).
