Quite simple really.
1. Implement all your core functionality as part of a library.
2. Implement your command-line tools that utilize this library.
3. Implement your gui that also utilizes the same library.
myproject/

|-setup.py
|
|-myproject/
|
|-__init__.py
|
|-foo.py
|-bar.py
|-gui.py
|
|-tools/
|
|-foo.py
|-bar.py
|-myproject.py (gu)
You can also take advantage of setuptools along with distutils
and define "entry points" for your application.
