I use wxglade to generate the GUI source for wxpython, and then write my 
database code into the generated source for population of the grid and 
responding to events.

I's very easy and painless. I mostly use Postgres (with Psycopg2) for the 
database, but sometimes sqlite.

One big advantage for me is that I can go back to wxglade, change the 
layout, regenerate the source and my own code is untouched.
