I'll second that. :)  Most of my software development experience has 
been with Borland's C++ Builder, and (once I had learned a little 
Python) putting together a couple of small applications with Boa was a 
snap, since it behaves a lot like Delphi/Builder.  While it has some 
quirks and bugs, I must say it's not too far from C++ Builder in that 
department.

wxPython is also pretty easy to pick up, although it took me a little 
time to get used to looking at wxWindows (C++) documentation to learn 
how to use it. :)

So my opinion (which may be of questionable value) is that wxPython/Boa 
is a nice combination.  I intend to use them for any future work I do 
that (1) requires a GUI and (2) can be comfortably done in Python.

Hope this helps,
