If you want develop GUIs with SQL aware widgets then look at the combination 
of PyQt, the eric IDE and Qt Designer.

Although BlackAdder is built on the same technology it does not yet support 
the SQL aware widgets in it's form designer, nor does it include support for 
Qt's SQL classes in its version of PyQt. However, depending on what platform 
you want to support, and whether you wish to sell your applications, 
BlackAdder may be a better bet - and stick with "dumb" forms.
