Jython would be it.  It is as simple as

import javax.swing
f = javax.swing.JFrame()
f.getContentPane().add( javax.swing.JLabel( "Hello World" ) )
f.setVisible( 1 )

If speed is an issue, don't use Swing.  Swing is quite slow (from
experience) as it is implemented entirely in Java.  If you only need
to support a single platform you can use Jython+Swing+JNI+C using JNI
to connect Java to the speed critical stuff written in C.  Otherwise I
would recommend looking at other toolkits such as PyGTK and wxPython.
