One of possibilities is to use Flash (in a browser) for GUI. I am 
thinking about using it for some project that also needs more 
interactivity: Flash for frontend, Python for backend (Web service 
using XMLRPC).
You can use Flash IDE for fast GUI builing, and code the flow of your 
GUI in Action Script files, using your favorite editor.
The sad part of this approach is that you can't program everything in 
Python. The nice part is the maintainability (no install, automatically 
download of the latest version).

But these are my thoughts... I wonder what people say who actually did 
it :)
