I learned everything I know from Google ;) or at least sources provided by
Google. I'd also recommend Python for System Administrators by Noah Gift and
Jeremy Jones. If it's available at your local public library, I'd check it
out (and well worth the $15 price used).

Python for Sys admins covers all of the above. If you want a very simple
interface, I'd go with Tkinter. It's a lot easier to use than some of the
bigger GUIs, like GTK, but it also sacrifices a lot of features to go with
that simplicity.

A couple  of folks on this mailing list have python tutorials that are
certainly worth a read.

HTH,
Wayne
