I'd say your belief is simply wrong, many Python desktop GUIs are cross 
platform.  I'd start with tkinter as it's available with Python, there 
are loads of tutorials available for it and you'll be able to get advice 
here or on the main Python mailing list.

Django strikes me as pure overkill for your needs.  If you must go down 
the web route I'd start here https://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks 
at the section headed "Popular Non Full-Stack Frameworks".

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
