Havn't been following the thread (same topic debated endlessly over the
years) but my 2c worth is as follows:.
Quick'n simple interfaces use wxGlade, ie if you only want to throw on a few
standard controls - textboxes, labels, lists.
For anything complex, do it by hand.
Play with sizers until they drive you crazy so that you finally understand how
to use them, then use wx.AUI as your manager, plug your panel's into that,
especially if you program on Linux as wxGTK sucks cf windows, but at the end
of the day you can get quite elegant designs.

Richard

Dabo is another but it's under continuing development.

especially if you program on Linux as wxGTK sucks cf windows,
cf=compared to in my mind, and a quick google of its exact derivation yields
any number of refererences eg:
ie ;the abbreviation cf comes from the Latin verb conferre ("to compare").
However I will defer to the latin scholars amongst us.

Both "Dialog Blocks" and wxDesigner are fairly inexpensive commercial products from a couple of the core wx developers -- they work for C++ and Python (and other languages?). Some of my co workers really like wxDesigner, though I use hand-code Sizers.

Ah, but the first definition given by Google when using “define: cf” is (after californium and cystic fibrosis):
cf.: compare (used in texts to point the reader to another location in the text); another is “see, check”. I was familiar with these usages.
And then there’s “an inherited disorder of the exocrine glands, primarily
the pancreas, pulmonary system and sweat glands, characterized by
abnormally thick luminal secretions”.

I tried Boa Constructor but after half a dozen code tweaks I was still running into compatibility errors with the latest wxPython and gave up.
Did you try the latest copy from CVS (see here for instructions: BoaInstallGuide - wxPyWiki)? The "current" version on Sourceforge is very much out of date and Riaan has not got around to do a build.
Werner, do you happen to know how frequently the latest copies of Boa available via CVS are updated and whether there is a way to know what the latest changes are to the CVS version?
I ask because I get the sense that there might be good changes happening to Boa, but it is sort of undercover. Also, I updated via CVS a few months back, and wonder if it is worth updating again. I’m probably missing something obvious about this.

The ones I am aware of had to do with making Boa work with the 2.8.x series, so they are a few month old.

Whenever there are changes to CVS you will see a post on the Boa's gmane list.
