Python is used for much more then web based applications.
The latest versions of pyInstaller (http://www.pyinstaller.org) are
incredibly good at generating single-file binaries for both Windows and
Linux.
We’re using pyInstaller to distribute applications based on some fairly
complex frameworks—including wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org)
which is one option for building GUI applications.
