The first one is certainly possible. Pick any of the well-known
toolkits (Tkinter, wxwidgets, GTK, etc), and see how it feels. All of
them are portable across the three platforms you name, so see which
one is most comfortable for you to code in and produces the best
results.

Definitely Python 3. If you don't have anything specifically holding
you to Python 2, take Python 3 and get all the latest features. Most
importantly, you'll never run into troubles with Unicode.
