First, have a look at:
- wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org)
- wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org)

Or, as a second choice:
- FLTK (http://www.fltk.org/)
- PyFLTK (http://pyfltk.sourceforge.net)

There are many others GUI toolkit around. Just search Google for
"multiplatform Python GUI toolkit" or something like that.
