WRT wxPython, I've long since got past the issue of "sizer hell" as
noted by others (it was a short ride in any event - maybe a day or so
experimenting).  In fact, wxDesigner is a nicely maturing IDE for
assembling the front end pieces whether I'm coding for C++ or Python. 
I've found that after awhile, the whole sizer issue becomes fairly
intuitive and saves me headaches that I just not rather mess with
directly.  I'm finishing up an application that required a
modification of the layout of the front end, the fact that the gui was
built using sizers made that a snap - a handful of minor edits and the
layout was modified.  Oh and far as speed is concerned, I've never
noticed anything that would lead me to believe that wxpython couldn't
handle the "strain."
