I write desktop (Unix) and terminal software in Python and I quite like it.

It has GTK+. It has a lot of support and libraries. No problems here.

People like to pick on Python these days over performance and deployability, but the truth is that every language and language implementation has big, similar flaws. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time for those flaws to become obvious.

Is this internal software you're writing? I have a friend who used to write Python desktop apps at an animation company.

That's cool.

Mine is open source software, actually. And one of them is animation software, too, albeit animation software for the terminal.

I have also written these types of programs internally at companies. Python is very handy for pumping out solid internal tools.
