Python's web site covers this. The Python environment is available for
download <URL:https://www.python.org/downloads/> for all major operating
systems.

Python is used in a huge range of fields, in organisations large and
small <URL:https://www.python.org/about/success/>.

GUI programming is covered at the Python wiki
