There are many choices:  tkinter, wxPython and Qt are the three that
come to mind first.  I prefer wxPython, but the choice of GUI is really
a matter of personal preference.

There are also several choices for an Oracle connection.  ODBC and ADODB
will work.  cx_Oracle is a Python DBAPI-compliant extension specifically
for Oracle.  There's even http://www.ioug.org/python.pdf, which gives a
couple of quick examples.

(My apologies to Samar for sending a blank reply initially; it's too
easy to press Ctrl-Enter when I intend to press Enter...)
