Nope - that doesn't quite cut it. Granted, I may be misunderstanding 
what the OP is asking for, but I assume that since he was using VB and 
is asking about a *visual* development environment, he is probably 
looking for the ability to visually build GUIs (and have tight 
integration - auto-code generation for it and all).

AFAIK Visual Python doesn't have this - yeah it's a plugin for a more 
mature IDE, but it doesn't enjoy the same level of support in that IDE 
as e.g. C++. Other Python tools are getting there, but they aren't as 
mature yet.
