It never fails to amaze me how often we get near identical
questions being asked within a few days of each other and then
never mentioned again for weeks!

There are many different GUI toolkits for Python but the two most
commonly used are:

wxPython and
Tkinter.

Tkinter is based ob Tcl/Tk and comes as standard in Python
but has slightly less sophisticated widgets and some folks
don't like its looks.Try the Tkinter Topic Guide in the Documentation
section of the Python web site for links to references and tutorials.
There are some books too.

wxPython has its own web site and is based on a C++
framework called wxWidgets which also has a web site
full of references which are very good if you can read C++.

HTH,
