There's also Boa Constructor, which looks very promising, but
unfortunately it has the same state as PythonCard... pre-alpha.
If this ever really gets off the ground, it will be like having
a Delphi using Python rather than Pascal.

The current CVS version doesn't like wxPython 2.3.2, though. So
I couldn't test the latest code. :-(
