Well done! Hope the install went OK ;-). I presume you are talking about
GUI-based programs using Oracle rather than Oracle Forms stuff?  There is
some coverage in Hammond & Robinson's Programming Win32 in Python book, for
a start. Other people speak highly of Grayson's Python and Tkinter
programming, though it isn't my cup of tea. I'm not currently aware of
anything drag-and-drop which includes database awareness, but Boa
Constructor and BlackAdder GUI tools both have theie adherents.

Since you've taken the effort to get started I am reasonably sure that the
c.l.py GUI community will be out in force to help you (right, guys?) -
you've probably seen the regular threads on "Which GUI is the best" and
realise there's a choice.

I am currently working on a simple web-based framework for data editing,
which I plan to translate to one or other of the available GUIs, but that's
currently on the horizon. It will be open source when it's finished.

 Steve
