My personal recommendation would be to look at wxPython.  Tkinter 
is a bit easier to pick up, especially if you have no previous 
GUI experience, but it becomes difficult to do more complex 
things with it.  Also, Tkinter apps always *look* like Tkinter 
apps.  By contrast, wxPython (and wxWindows, which it wraps) uses 
the platform-native widgets wherever possible, so a wxPython app 
looks like a Windows app on Windows and a GTK app on Linux.  
wxPython is also more flexible than Tkinter, and it doesn't rely 
on another scripting language like Tkinter does (Tkinter relies 
on TCL).
