It's now the *3rd* time I mention Glade, wxGlade and QTDesigner in this 
thread. Hendrik, I know *exactly* what Stef is talking about - been 
here, done that.

Then ObjectPascal his poor too. All the GUI part of Delphi is to 
ObjectPascal what wxPython etc are to Python.

 From thiw POV, Python is much richer than ObjectPascal : you have at 
least 3 or 4 usable GUI toolkits, at least two of them being 
full-featured and cross-platform.
