I've always found tkinter to be adequate so far. The widgets look a
little bit crude compared with other toolkits, and there's less fancy
functionality, but it's fairly easy to program and it's included with
Python. For internal use where you don't need a lot of visual
slickness to sell the product, it may be ok.
Another possibility is embed a web server in your application and use
a browser interface for your gui. That makes it easy to run the
application on a separate machine from the user, among other things,
even if you don't try to support multiple simultaneous users like a
real web server normally would have to.
