There are plenty of options for GUI programming in Python.  Among the
most popular are Tkinter, wxPython, PyGTK, and PyQT, all of which are
cross-platform and free.  Also, since you specifically mention the
.NET languages, IronPython runs on .NET and so is able to make full
use of the .NET APIs including Windows Forms and WPF.  A more
comprehensive list can be found at:
