I've recently been banging away at my 'grid view of a database' requirement.

I've actually got a Python program that does basically what I want (modified some code I found on the Web) and I could develop from there.

However it would be much easier if I could use something to do the spade work of designing the layout etc. so to that end I've been trying wxGlade. I'm beginning to understand how it's supposed to work but seem to keep hitting bugs and 'infelicities' that stop it working. For example I now have a saved wxGlade app that is totally unresponsive when reloaded into wxGlade.

Is this normal, i.e. is wxGlade this bad? I tried the Windows version (in a VirtualBox guest) and that actually seems somewhat better in that I don't keep hitting a situation where wxGlade doesn't respond.

Should I persevere with wxGlade or are there better GUI designers out there? .... or should I just go back to writing native Python with wxPython?
