I personally like using Pike and GTK, so if I were to try a
cross-platform Python GUI project, I'd probably give PyGTK a shot. But
there's another option that is available to every platform and
(practially) every high level language: the web browser. Make your app
serve HTTP and do up your UI in HTML5/CSS3 - your facilities are
pretty extensive. Plus you get networking support for free! Obviously
this option isn't for everyone, but don't discount it out of hand.
