There are Python bindings to most GUI toolkits (GTK+, Qt, fltk, wxWindows,
and Tk come to mind). You could use any of them. They're all usable in
GNU/Linux.
-- Tk is a mature, small, and simple toolkit. The Python binding
to Tk is called Tkinter.
-- GTK+ is what most Gnome apps use. The Python binding is PyGTK.

-- Qt is what most KDE apps use. The Python binding is called PyQt.
-- wxWindows is a lot like MS Windows MFC if I recall correctly.
The Python binding to wxWindows is called wxPython.

-- For a terminal-based text-mode character-cell display program, you
could use ncurses. http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/curses/
