Well, there's an alternative. If you are better in C++ I would recommend you to try out Qt (application framework) by [

If you are great at C++, a text editor should suffice. Qt has additional tools for you to develop quick GUI, though the code behind handling events for them is separated.

Also, what Python IDE would you recommend?

If you are particular about Python, you could installing the bindings of Qt with Python. That'll help you do enough in GUI programming using Python.
Eclipse has plugins for Python, and could be a cool IDE to work on.
