Best IDE for Rapid GUI dev

[Jeff Sasmor]

Spend a little money (as little as $35) and get Wing IDE
http://www.wingide.com.

Works flawlessly with wxPython; I have been using it
that way for more than one year.  As a matter of fact,
it's SO well behaved I can do this:

install wxPython and wxWindows from source
set up MS Visual C++ correctly
set up a breakpoint in a C++ method in wxPython C++ wrappers
    or in wxWindows C++ code
Set up a breakpoint in my Python app under Wing IDE
run my Python app in Wing
reach the breakpoint in my Python code
trace into the C++ code from there, with the breakpoint in C++
    handled in VC++

I don't know how much more one could ask when trying to
debug wrapped C++ such as wxPython.

The money spent is WELL worth it.
Just my 1 cent (deflation?)
