Sounds like the advantage lies with Python here... Don't make a UI by dragging and dropping that many widgets. If it takes "several lines of code" for each object, it might be worth creating a utility function. For example, a database form might include a good number of fields with associated labels; you could create a function that creates (in a single line) a label and its input field. Or create a list and iterate over it, creating all the widgets as you step through the loop. That's the advantage of code - you can't easily create reusable 'clumps' with a drag-and-drop builder, but in code, it's the exact same thing as any other form of code reuse.
