There isn't something like 'the best' for all use(r)es... it depends on 
your situation. do you need multiple platform support? if no, on wich 
platform do you want to run it. do you need it for commercial projects?

- you could learn anygui (http://anygui.sf.net). that way you don't realy 
  need to care about the GUI library, anygui chooses the the best from 
  what you have installed.
- for multiplatform, wxPython is an option.
- for linux wxGTK etc seems widely used.
- for both platforms there is pyQT wich is good too, but you have to buy it 
  for commercial applications.
- there are may others: fox, or SWING with jython but those are not so   
  widely used.

there are different free and commercial GUI desigeners. do you plan onn 
using one of these?

you can browse the archive of this list to find many discusions about this 
issue.

i use wxPython.
