Some folks below mention wxPython, which (I think) works pretty
decently.

Another option is IronPython, the dot net based version of Python.
Much of it runs under Mono on Linux.  The dot Net Windows and controls
look decent in both environments (Windows and Linux), and aren't that
difficult to code.

IronPython has a mailing list; you might want to cross-post there.
