does anyone know if there a vba style compiler/gui for python. i am using the regular IDLE and it is difficult to navigate from function to function. with the VBA editor you are able to skip from function to function with a listbox. does anyone know if such a thing exists for python?

Learn a decent text editor, and learn it well.

In vim for instance, I would search for def func and get there WAY faster than you ever could using your mouse in a drop-down list.

vim FTW. Plenty of vimscripts available to tweak vim for Python use, plus you can extend vim with Python now (if you have the right version).

there are several Frameworks for GUI programming and some GUI-Editors/IDEs

a summery on what frameworks exists, is available in the python wiki

Which to use depends largely on your preferences, the plattform you are using and your skills

Eclipse with PyDev can do this. Eric apparently can too.
