Are there any easy-to-use Visual Studio C# WinForms-like GUI designers in the Python world for Tk?

There are any number of them but few that work well. The best
I found was Dabo but it uses its own Framework (based, ISTR,
on wxPython?) so not much good for integrating with third
party widgets etc.

I also used a Python fork of SpecTcl but it died a death I think.

The Qt Designer tool works with Python but I never took to
Qt as a toolkit although once mastered it is very powerful.
Probably the best choice for professional class GUI
applications using a GUI builder.

And on a Mac the standard Apple XCode GUI builder works fine
with Python too, but is Mac specific.

Provided you aren't getting fancy the basic Tkinter toolset
and programming by hand works best for me. Once you get used
to it its quick, flexible and fairly easy to debug. I also
use wxPython if I need something more sophisticated, but again
I just type the code I don't use a GUI builder.
