As a complete novice in the study of Python, I am asking myself where this

the tutorials are lots of examples of list processing, arithmetic
calculations - all in a DOS-like environment.
What is particularly disappointing is the absence of a Windows IDE,
components and an event driven paradigm. How does Python stand relative to
the big 3, namely Visual C++, Visual Basic and Delphi? I realize that these
programming packages are quite expensive now while Python is free (at least
for the package I am using - ActivePython).
You might want to check out Dabo. It's a framework written by a couple
of guys coming from the world of Microsoft dev tools, and they seem to
be targeting their visual tools to that market. Their website is
http://dabodev.com.
I've been using Dabo for a while, both with and without the visual
tools, and it's amazing stuff.
