Take a look at
 http://starbase.neosoft.com/~claird/comp.lang.python/python_GUI.html
to acqaint yourself with the variety there is in GUI toolkits. There are 
three or four serious contenders: Tkinter, PyQt, wxPython and PyGTK, I 
think. There's an excellent book on Tkinter, by Grayson, and I'm writing a 
book on PyQt - but using PyQt on Windows entails buying BlackAdder.
