Remember, in the open source community we all pretty much just scratch our
itches.  Given that for the most part nobody in the Python community has a
handle on any other Python person's paycheck, it's unlikely that enough of
the community can be convinced that a VB-like development environment would
be a "killer app" for Python and thus motivated to go produce one.
Apparently, most Python people feel productive enough without such a tool.
