I have been using Phoenix now for half a year and are very happy with 
it. A release is on its way. For most platforms there are snapshot 
builds which are easy to install.

See e.g. 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wxpython-users/soHFLOrerVs/MSijBTQ6KAAJ


The snapshot installation does not include the demo and the .chm help 
file (yet?). These and the book I found to be the most helpful resources 
(much more usable than online reference documentation as e.g. with Qt).


I think that wxGlade is the most promising Python GUI builder and I'm 
confident that it will see improvements to increase usability. I have 
tried some others from time to time, including also QtCreator, but none 
was really convincing.

Regards,

Dietmar
