I came up to speed pretty quickly using some various GTK and Gnome tutorials
around, along with the reference (for C) on developer.gnome.org. But
you'll have to fill in on the Python bits yourself (I've found it useful
to study the PyGTK and PyGnome sources). So if you don't know as much
about C or GUI architecture that may not be the right way for you.

I also highly recommend using Glade and LibGlade with all of this; 
libGlade basically lets you set up a UI (built with Glade) in a Python
program taking just a few lines. I must've only spent three days with it
all so far, but I've already toyed with the canvas and embedded a web
browser component. :)
