The collected wisdom of the community includes this page at the Python
wiki <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>, and a brief
comparison of toolkits is at
<URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/GUI%20Programming%20in%20Python>.

That seems a reasonable assessment; if you just want a UI for a
not-particularly-website program, Django may be a poor fit.

I recommend you start with the default, heavily-documented Tkinter
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html> and the Ttk
extension <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html>. Both
of these are part of the Python 3 system in Ubuntu.

You can find a good guide to Tk programming in Python as one stream of
the excellent <URL:http://www.tkdocs.com/>.
