There is pywin32 if you like to work with MFC and ActiveX. Apart from
that, lack of controls is not what I associate with GTK, Qt or
wxWidgets.

Why do you want GUI controls for this? If you think you do, Visual
Basic has crippled your mind.

Python has packages for database connectivity. There is ReportLab for
reports, matplotlib for graphs, pyagg or pycairo for whatever you want
to draw, etc. You can find Python packages for anything you can
imagine.
