wxPython is easy to use, free, and available on most every platform you 
could want to use.

If you build your application right, maintenance shouldn't be a huge issue.

While I favor wxPython, it is really the only toolkit I've ever used, 
and can only really say that I enjoy using it.

PyGTK looks to be about as easy to use, but I have no experience with 
it, so I'll not comment.

I would argue against using PyQT, if only for the license restrictions 
on Windows.

I would suggest you not try FXPy (Python's link to the Fox GUI toolkit), 
if only because the latest version is quite old.

Initially for writing GUIs in Python, I tried tk, but found the learning 
curve to be too steep.  It seems to get easier the more you use it.
