[Pythoncard-users] Getting a little discouraged

[Pythoncard-users] About my last post...I made a mistake | RE: [Pythoncard-users] Getting a little discouraged
Has anyone been able to find a really good, stable, easy to understand GUI 
creation tool for Pyton on windows?

I have tried several of the well known solutions thus far with somewhat less 
than pleasing results. Maybe I'm just dumb, but most of the programs I've 
seen are not documented very well for beginners and assume a lot of things 
will be understood.

I have had some luck with PythonCard, but it still requires a fair amount of 
manual programming... PAGE will generate the code but I can't figure out how 
to use it in a program or create and handle events, and BlackAdder looks good 
but the demo is really not much of a demo as it won't create code. (What good 
is this?? a series of screen shot jpgs of the interface would be about as 
good of a "demo".). Sorry I don't mean to criticize and I do understand the 
reason you can't make a demo fully functioning, but this is about like being 
told to take a test drive in a car without being allowed to crank the engine.

I've also tried BoaConstructor which looks promising but to be honest just 
has a little too complex of an interface for my taste.  I just want something 
that will let me design an interface on screen, write the basic .py code, and 
explain to me in plain english how to use it in a program and do the event 
handling. Is there such an animal, or is it back to visual basic??? (I hope 
not, I really do like Python's core language a lot better)
