On Linux, you have several GUI toolkits available for Python. Maybe it's 
best you try first if you like Tkinter, the one delivered with Python.

I've also heard of people who are happy with PyGtk, also because you can 
use GLADE to graphically assemble forms. There's also an overwhelmingly 
choice of other GUI tookits, all linked from the above Wiki page.
