So is it hard to make GUI apps with Python?

Well, you should first know the basics of Python. It has some learning curve but it's not rocket science.

Python GUI

Basically you have to install the PyQt module and load it. Then you can create a window and add all kinds of widgets to it.

For example, the "hello world" app looks like this (source: pyqt):

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QHBoxLayout

if __name__ == '__main__':    
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = QWidget()    
    layout = QHBoxLayout()
    btn = QPushButton("Hello World!")
    layout.addWidget(btn)
    w.setLayout(layout)
    w.resize(250, 150)
    w.move(300, 300)
    w.setWindowTitle('Simple')
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

It adds a button, resizes window, sets a window title etc. PyQt has a widget for everything you can think of, so regardless of whether you want to make a web browser, an office suite or anything else you can.

If you are new to PyQt, then this is a good course
