Answer 1

Firstly, you selected perfect combination to GUI programming. Python + PyQt helps for FAST and effective on GUI design

1. Eclipse + PyDev(extension) to perfect python environment. DEBUGging, Auto Complete, Pep8, PyLint, PyDev Console, Code Analysis, PyUnit ... http://pydev.org/ EDIT: see below

2. Qt-Designer and Qt-Assistant, quite awesome ! http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/ http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html http://wiki.python.org/moin/JonathanGardnerPyQtTutorial

3. Pyuic4, Pyrrc4 and other console tools key advantages. You can design aui with qtdesigner and you can use that for any qt platform or language.

4. Bonus, py-installer; cross-platform python distribution tool. It supports nearly all libraries builtin include pyqt,lxml...

PS: I am exactly using this environment and we finished a server-client in 2 months from zero

EDIT: With pycharm-community edition release, we migrated to it. It is absolutely fantastic for any type python development environment.
