There are a few SpecTcl is one that works for Tcl and there was a 
version of SpecTcl for python. There are GUI builders for other toolkits 
too. Dabo (wxPython at heart but adds its own widgets
on top) is the only one I've found that works well (at least
when I tried it).

But frankly they are generally not very good, or reliable 
(crashes/lockups etc) especially if you are used to something
like VB. Its much easier and faster to just use text once you
get used to it.

Others may have had more luck but I tried about 5 or 6 tools
and they all sucked!
