GUI and Python
 

Has anyone used glade before to create a GUI for your python apps. If so Does it work well or do you recommend just coding it all out?

Never tried it, programming it out is always good, although if your really after RAD which Python is great for i suppose that would be a gd idea.

Well my thought was or is ( and I have no real experiance creating gui in python other then actually creating the forum) can you make progress bars and all the diffrent controls and such?

Yes you can, you should have a look into TKinter and wxPython. TKinter is a default library within Python, personally though i feel that wxPython is a much better library.

Its really down to the person of course both offer some advantages/disadvantages.

I recommend using wxGlade which will output wxPython code for you once your happy with your layout.

Saying that it often advised that you should make a command line version first that will let you just plug in your functionality once you've made your GUI.
