> It's significantly harder to put together a quick GUI application in Python than it used to be in the VB6 days. Just getting all the dependencies installed can be a pain, and then good luck trying to add another button to that app say 2 years later, chances are nothing will build anymore.

I would say that it is harder, but not significantly so.

Lazarus gets mentioned a lot on these forums, but have you tried it? I use it to whack together decent native looking applications.

It's a single download, it comes with a comprehensive list of components which you drag onto a form to build the GUI, never breaks old apps on an update, and works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
