Please excuse if I'm jumping on the topic. Haven't done any GUI work so
this interests me too.
wxPython always seemed a great choice as it works on all platforms, and
uses GTK+ for linux.
Well, what mainly bugs me about wxPython is that most of it's API names
come from the wx C library, you almost can feel the C code underneath.
I would really love a more pythonic wrapper around it.
Really good news is that on this very list on another thread, someone
suggested Dabo http://dabodev.com/
It's a python library on top of wxPython and it's database-logic-GUI
separation looks a lot like the MVP of django, which I'm familiar with.
Of course, a bit not that easy to install if you're just starting out
and there are no books for it. It's also database oriented, but I
consider this a plus.
I'd like to hear your views on whether you think it might be a good
choice for a new python programmer, exactly for the above reasons.
I think it might be worth the hurdles and pay off in the end.

But none of them will be easy to learn if you have not done GUI work
before because GUI programming is a whole new style and that's what
takes the time. Once you learn one framework picking up another is
not that hard - just a lot of new API names to learn!
