What do you mean "by hand" ? When you must use a mouse to make a gui,
you use your hand, but when you code a gui you use your head... Finaly
if you code the gui, you can reuse it and so don't need more any hand or
head for this.

Guido took the GUI part in consideration when he decide that it's better
to let python as a langage and let people decide which library they
want, wich ide they prefer...
The mistake of java was to decide that they will do everything even the
gui (swing), since, everybody say that java is slow even if the langage
is very fast...

Don't forget that there is a lot of developers who don't need any gui,
or need a very specific gui. But every developers need python the
langage and the standard lib...

I encourage people to look at web application ;-)

There are, it's just to choose...
