You really need to get your thinking straightened out. You can't
compare Delphi to Python; Delphi is a product that uses Pascal as its
language, while Python is a language. When you compare a product for a
language to an entire language, it makes the rest of your arguments
look silly.

BTW, you said you looked at the Dabo Class Designer - did you know
that that tool itself was written in Dabo?

The power is there. The fact that you couldn't completely understand
it in a brief review says more about you than it does about Python,
wxPython or Dabo.
