Sounds like a bit of a cop-out (on the part of your school); there are
many ways to build a GUI for Python applications.

Python has, for a long time, come with the Tkinter module, allowing you
to build GUIs with the cross-platform Tk toolkit.

However, Tk widgets are fairly ugly and primitive; a very popular
alternative is wxPython, which uses to the cross-platform wxWindows
toolkit.
