This is becoming an FAQ.

The currently available (non-web) database application development
frameworks for Python are:

using wxPython:
Dabo	http://www.dabodev.com
Defis	http://sourceforge.net/projects/defis/ (Russian only)
GNUe	http://www.gnuenterprise.org/

using PyQt:
Pypapi		https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyPaPi
Camelot		http://www.python-camelot.com/
Qtalchemy	http://www.qtalchemy.org/
Thyme		http://clocksoft.co.uk/downloads/
Kexi		http://www.kexi-project.org/

using PyGTK:
SQLkit	http://sqlkit.argolinux.org/
Kiwi	http://www.async.com.br/projects/kiwi/
Glom	http://www.glom.org

Openoffice Base
http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html
Libreoffice Base
http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/

OpenERP	http://www.openerp.org
Tryton	http://www.tryton.org

Dabo (they're about to release 1.0 for Pycon), Pypapi, Camelot, SQLkit
seem to be the most actively developed and best documented ones.

OpenERP and Tryton are ERP systems that can also be used as
frameworks for non-ERP custom applications.
