This is surely a typo.  I have zero evidence for
a factor that high.  I generally estimate the
compactness of Python as roughly the same as
Java's, and twice as good on occasion.

Python GUIs indeed have a lot to offer.  There's
frankly likely to be an initial period of
discomfort, simply because other toolkits don't
do things the way Java does.  *Then* you'll be
glad they're different.  Then you'll end up
seeing that each has advantages.
