For functions see:

http://docs.python.org/ref/function.html
http://www.penzilla.net/tutorials/python/functions/

For classes see:

As for GUI toolkits, that is a contentious subject. The two major ones
usually mentioned here are Tkinter and wxPython. Others argue for
PyGTK and pyQT. I recommend to see the following links:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/Choosing_wxPython_over_Tkinter
http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming

Tkinter and wxPython are the ones I've used and recommend, although
currently I use wxPython the most. Both are very much cross-platform,
although wxPython may have the edge when it comes to native look on
most platforms and it has more built-in widgets than Tkinter. You
should check them both out and see what you think.

As far as I know, they can be used for pretty much any GUI interface,
so I don't think you have to worry about use cases.
