QT Designer, which you can use with PyQT and PyKDE (if on Linux), is 
probably most like the VB GUI builder.  But it is not free if you want 
to develop Windows apps (you'd probably want to purchase the BlackAdder 
version: http://www.thekompany.com/products/blackadder/ ).

But the best python GUI API on Windows is wxPython.  Check out the 
demo.py that comes with it.  I don't like any of the GUI designers for 
it, but I haven't really needed one.
