Yes.  No.  How's that for brevity? ;-)

Yes, you can develop financial and/or database applications using Python.
Tkinter is a reasonable wrapper around the Tk widget set, but Tk doesn't
give you a native look-n-feel on Windows.  You might consider wxPython or
-- built on top of it -- PythonCard:

    http://www.wxpython.org/
    http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/

wxPython is a wrapper around wxWindows:

PythonCard is a project to build a Hypercard-like tool for Python.
