Do you miss the 75+ attributes classes and globals as well ? I'm still
forced to work with Delphi from time to time (though whenever I can do
something in Python instead, I do) and it makes me want to throw up. Sure,
the designer is nice, but when you look at the generated code...

Sorry for the harsh tone, I just think GUI builders are *evil*. Except
maybe for QT Designer, which has a nice model where you implement
callbacks by subclassing the generated classes. At least you don't have to
look at the generated code.

Anyway, if the OP is looking for a 'Python Delphi', I think Boa
constructor is just that. I can't stand it :)
