title: Create a directly-executable cross-platform GUI app using Python
body: <p>Python works on multiple platforms and can be used for desktop and web applications, thus I conclude that there is some way to compile it into an executable for Mac, Windows and Linux.</p>
  
  <p>The problem being I have no idea where to start or how to write a GUI with it, can anybody shed some light on this and point me in the right direction please?</p>
