Python is one of, if not the, easiest languages to learn and use. I feel that's why it took off in science related fields - non CS people can jump in and be productive quickly. Seeing as this is for GUIs and not say, computing digits of Pi, I think Python is a fantastic choice for this. I honestly wish Python had taken off as the web language instead of JS, but that's a conversation for another time. FWIW, I'm not a Python fanatic or anything, I haven't used it in years - but it's hard to argue it's not a great language for beginners.
