If your program does not have a GUI and you want to add some simple dialog boxes then EasyGUI might work for you:

If your needs go beyond this then you will have to choose a GUI toolkit and learn to use it. The two most popular GUI toolkits for Python on Windows seem to be Tkinter (which is included with Python, see http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter for info) and wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org). Which is "better" is a matter of opinion. I think the general consensus is that Tkinter is easier to use for simple projects and wxPython has more variety of widgets and may be better for a complex GUI.
