Sounds like the advantage lies with Python here...

Don't make a UI by dragging and dropping that many widgets.

If it takes "several lines of code" for each object, it might be worth
creating a utility function. For example, a database form might
include a good number of fields with associated labels; you could
create a function that creates (in a single line) a label and its
input field. Or create a list and iterate over it, creating all the
widgets as you step through the loop. That's the advantage of code -
you can't easily create reusable 'clumps' with a drag-and-drop
builder, but in code, it's the exact same thing as any other form of
code reuse.
