Python Newbie needs some context

I can already program in a few languages (but not C++) and, since Python 
comes to highly recommended, I figured to venture into it.

I'm used to using an IDE.

So, after some web browsing and reading, I did the following:

Installed Python
Installed EasyEclipse
Installed wxPython
Installed wxGlade

My objective is to develop some relatively simple GUI applications.

Since I'm still on a steep learning curve with all these things I'm 
clearly missing some of the structural context and wonder where would be 
really good places to read about:

1) Is it the intent to generate code with wxGlade and then rather 
"import" that code into an Eclipse project context?  Or, should one 
expect to be able to create hooks (e.g. for Tools) in Eclipse that will 
do that?  If so, how?

2) I'm finding the Eclipse terminology re: projects, folders, etc. etc. 
rather obscure.  Where can I learn about "good practice" and these 
things.  I know what cvs is but won't likely be using it.  That is, 
which item in the hierarchy is best used for what?

Thanks,

Fred
