You forgot to mention the other big gui toolkits tkinter and wxPython. 
Years ago, I decided for wxPython because of its licence and that it is 
useable at windows and linux. For the socket programming I would like to 
suggest using the xmlrpclib. You can find the official documentation 
here: http://docs.python.org/library/xmlrpclib.html
