Tkinter comes with Python.
SpecPython is an addon to SpecTCL, a GUI builder for Tk/Java
JPython implements the JAVA AWT (and Swing?) in Python
Either approach will create a GUI running in Python.
There are a couple of Tkinter tutorials on the Web.
I personally prefer this one:

Here's Python/Tkinter's minimal Hello world:
"""
#-----------------------
# pull in all the widget names
from Tkinter import *
# create a label widget and add it to the root window
w = Label(0, text="Hello, world!") # 0 => no parent window
w.pack()
# start processing user events
w.mainloop()
#-----------------------
