You are lucky.Our project is a cross-platform cluster computer
managment system
this system can run on both windows and Linux

I tell you how we solve this problems

We use tk for GUI and we have a interpreter reads VB form file ".frm"
in and
display it with tk.You just need to draw forms in VB and save it in
frm formate
load it in your python file
LoadForm("aa.frm")
after that you can use button,menu and so on in python
We use XMLRPC to conmunicate with remote node.XMLRPC is very cool for
you can
invoke a function in remote side in the same way you invoke a local
method.
for example
we have an remote object foo
foo.bar() #invoke bar() in remote side
but XMLRPC is work on network.I'm not sure it can work in serial

and most important is XMLRPC is cross-platform.you can use a linux for
server and windows for client
