GUI application is a whole other matter entirely. For that, you might want to look into cross-platform GUI toolkits with Python bindings. E.g., PyQT [1], wxPython [2], TkInter [3], etc. Python, after all, is just a cross-platform language. To do all those user-friendly bells and whistles, you'd need to use the appropriate framework(s) that Python can work with.
