Oh, it's not that bad....

########[dna2rna.py]##########
import Tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("dna2rna")

def translate():
   from tkMessageBox import showinfo
   showinfo("Translate",
     "Do some translating here.\n"
     "Maybe in another thread so the GUI doesn't stall."
     )
   # do your actual work here

tk.Button(
   root,
   text="Translate!",
   command=translate
   ).pack()
root.mainloop()

Now all one needs to do is fill in the blanks in the Translate 
call to do the actual work...an exercise left for the 
professional in the field. ;-)   I suspect the GUI may need to be 
a bit more complex than that which might lead to wanting a more 
object-oriented code-base, but I leave that too as an exercise 
for the reader.
