First you'll need to know that basics of programming Python.
wxPython
One of the most popular, cross-platform GUI toolkits for Python is wxPython.
Erik has a great, in-depth series on building a full application that includes a wxPython GUI (and openGL).

Key libraries used will be wxPython, OpenGL, and sqlite.
Most software projects fail. Will this one fail too?! Watch this series as it is published to [...]

easyGUI
easyGUI is a very simple GUI tool, you can't build full GUIs (it isn't as powerful as wxPython) but you can add GUI-elements to your scripts very simply.
Python 101 - easygui and csv
Aimed at Python Beginner Programmers, this fully-worked series builds a complete application that utilises a User Interface, the comma-separated-values (csv) module, reads and writes files, handles exceptions and gives useful error messages, uses test-driven development, nosetests and refactoring. We do all of this inside Wingware's excellent Wing IDE.

PythonCard
PythonCard is a wrapper around the lower-level wxPython, dgd shows you how to build GUIs as he walks through the process of building a simple application.
Introducing PythonCard
Python Card
First Run...
IBM t41
512 RAM
Part II
Do not under estimate the need to not get blocked when the first attempt fails and to read the instructions carefully... I didn't put both lines in the 'file type' editor...
Part III
Got the file type and paths working properly for pythoncard editor...
