I'm not much of a Python person (I usually go with C/C++ for big stuff,
Perl for smaller stuff, and Scheme for playtime), but I have to agree
with Mr. Hostetler with regards to wxWindows.

I've used it with C++ and Perl in the past, and it really is a great
GUI framework.  The libraries are set up in an extremely intelligent
and easy to use manner, and it works great.  If there's Python bindings
for it, that'd be a great way to do your GUI's.
