What you're talking about here is a GUI designer tool, not an IDE. GUI
designer tools are bound to a particular GUI toolkit, so you need to
choose your GUI toolkit too. There are some GUI toolkits available for
Python, the most used being TK (the one in the stdlib), wxWidget (a C++
portable toolkit running on Windows/Unices/MacOS X) and GTK (a C toolkit
initially written for Linux, but there's a Windows port AFAIK), with the
corresponding bindings for Python resp. Tkinter, wxPython and PyGTK.
QTDesigner is for QT, another GUI toolkit running on bowth Windows and
Linux - but there are (was) some licencing limitations on Windows.
