With Jython, you have access to Java's GUI tools (Swing and AWT). I'm not a
master of them yet, although I do find Swing interesting to play with. I
wrote a short article demo'ing Jython/Swing at:

For ease of use, someone who is early in the learning process might want to
start with Tkinter. I'm not sure about the performance issues of the various
approaches, but Tkinter seems to be a good first GUI experience for a lot of
people.
