Thanks. I'll check out Boa. Actually, I haven't started with Python GUI programming. So far only CUI. But am planning to do it soon. I was going to go with PyQt, based on a little experience with Qt (with C++, using the example programs - also the Qt docs seem very good)) and based on some articles by Boudewijn Rempt and Cameron Laird, who recommend it. (Not really done an in-depth analysis before making this decision, because I don't have a lot of GUI development experience anyway - just done a little in VB and Delphi. Mostly worked on UNIX/DOS/WIndows CUI apps.) Do you use wxPython ? What's your opinion about it vs. PyQt ?
BTW, I liked your series of replies to Poor Yorick about separation of GUI logic from business logic - it helped me to understand this area a little better.

I've tested IPython (0.2.14pre46) on Win32 recently, and it
A minimalistic IDE, more intended to non-programmers who want
to use python as an advanced calculator is Jean-Michel Fauth's
psi.
I recently tried Boa Constructor, and if you use wxPython for
GUI building, I think this is something to look closer at. I've
mainly tried the debugging features, and they are impressive.
I've never seen anything work well for debugging wxPython GUI
code in a GUI before. It's not as good as PythonWin for pure
editing in my opinion, and I haven't tried the GUI building
features, but I think this will be a serious contender to the
commercial products such as Wing and wxDesigner in time...
I think Boa works as well with Linux as with Windows.
