Python offers you the choice of a lot of GUI toolkits, most
of which also work fine under Windows.  Tkinter is the most
widely used one, but others prefer wxPython, PyQt, or others.

The anygui project, anygui.sf.net, is working towards a tkit
that will sit on top of a wide variety of others, so you can
code a simple GUI just once, and then different users can use it
with different underlying GUI toolkits they may have installed.
It's in pre-alpha now, so it doesn't yet help you if you must
start programming GUI stuff very soon.

You'll first need a reasonable competence with Python (it's
not a beginner's job:-), but when you have it your choices are:
