After using Java for a few years (since JDK 1.3), I wouldn't use anything else for a GUI. It'll also easily run on other OS's. I don't use IDE's though, so I can't recommend one. Some people I work with use Netbeans though. There does seem to be support available for Python in Netbeans: http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python -- DE
