This I do not. What is 'Python GUI'? What is 'Python Shell'?

Those are (part of) the names of menu entries created by the Python
installer for MS Windows. I am not sure exactly what programs they
invoke.

One entry is 'IDLE (Python GUI)'. I have never seen Idle referred to as 'Python GUI' as the later is non-specific and could refer to wxpython or pyqt or some other Python GUI.

Idle open a window called Python x.y.z Shell (until recently just Shell).

The other menu entry is 'Python (Command line)' and I am guessing that the paragraph above has nothing to do with this entry.
