OK, its not python, but I found a great visual basic program for Linux. Back in the day, I programmed VB 6, and now I have a way to use that old programming knowlege. It's call gambas. I found it in the Ubuntu Software Center, and it was very easy to install. I am very impressed with it. It was a snap to create an executable file. Only down side- it does not run on windows. I don't use windows, so that's not a downside for me.
