I am happy with emacs. Why do you need an IDE?

If you want to develop GUI application, you need to a GUI library first.

There are several designers for wxPython and pygtk has one too. I tried
PythonCard but it can't handle tree controls and tables. Now I code
everything in python again. Not the best solution but it works.
