  I don't intend to be unfriendly or condescending here, but I think
your approach is a bit skewed.  I agree that "we all need to write our
own code sometimes", but I think that time had better not be when
we're "new to Python and object oriented programming in general". 
It's like trying to write a novel without ever having read a novel. 
Why not learn an existing GUI toolkit or two before you try to write
your own?
