TCL/TK is good option for development but it is very old but currently maintained framework. I would rather prefer using *wxPython*.
When considering the timeline to develop application browser based web application vs window based think applicatiion, window based application takes more time to develop and deliver. And other critical thing to mention is Web framework has undergone series of innovation in the past 6 years which is not happened with thick client based model. If you want to run some background tasks and get the result asynchronously, you could use celery which is good for tasks management and scheduler. You can use it with RabbitMq (Popular message queue). I tried running the celery with tens of thousands of background tasks It works well. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/celery www.rabbitmq.com You can also use redis or mysql as a backend if you particularly don't like rabbitmq. celery itself uses django for its ORM and integrate well with django. Django ORM shall be removed soon from celery and it will be using sqlalchemy in next releases. If you choose to be web browser based client, you can consider using jQuery. You will take advantage of huge user community and nice documentation and couple of books already available. web.py is tiny framework with decent amount of community members. If you don't have any memory constrain or philosophy towards web framework choice, then you can go far django. I personally prefer Pylons framework with mako and sqlalchemy but pylons required steep learning curve for beginners. But it is really decent framework for hacks. There is nothing called small framework. It depends on what are the features are provided by the other framework. I use mod_wsgi with paster instances for application needs and nginx for load balancing.
