Glade is very nice for generating GTK guis.  If you save in the newer
format, then GTK has a built-in api called GtkBuilder for importing the
GUI, creating it, and setting up the callbacks.

To be clear, glade-generated ui files work only with GTK, not wxPython.
 If you ever find yourself coding PyQT, the QT Designer is one of the
best GUI builders on the planet.
