I haven't tried wxGlade for several years. I checked BOA, WxGlade and  Wxpython 
and pygame 4 years ago. Auto code generators in BOA and WxGlade are more helpful
to python programmers.  

One can develop GUI by  python with  Tcl/tk or Qt, too.   
But the license conditions in software packages are not all the same.
