python-gui

I've been developing applications in C# / VB.NET for about 3-4 years (.NET Framework v2.0, 3.5, 4). I have also developed some command-line applications or scripts in C, and Python under Linux.

Sometimes I need to develop my applications in another languages, like Python, but the ~~problem~~ thing is that lots of those applications require a GUI. Maybe not a too complex one, but it does require some windows with buttons, text boxes, list boxes,...

What books/tips/tutorials do you suggest me to start working with that language and be able to deploy my deliverables not only in .NET?

Note:
Learning python is not the big deal here, because I already know the basic of it. I just want to focus on the GUI.

Maybe this question should be on UI instead of here? If so, please, migrate it :)
