One other note. Boa is worth checking out for an integrated GUI design 
tool and IDE, but I'm not sure it's ready to go on OS-X. Last I heard, 
it wasn't yet working with wxPython 2.5.*, which is really required for 
it to work well on OS-X. PythonCard has been actively targeting OS-X as 
well.

For less integrated tools, there are a few GUI layout tools for 
wxPython: wxDesigner, Dialog Block, wxGlade, XrcEd, ???

The only one I've used is wxDesigner, and while I still prefer to do GUI 
layout with code (and Sizers, definitely take the time to wrap your 
brain around Sizers), other find these tools very helpful.
