There are lots of Python GUI toolkits. You can use GTK with PyGObject,
or PyQt, or wxPython, or Tkinter, or any of quite a few lesser-known
ones. You could do a quick web search to find out which ones work on
FreeBSD (probably all, or at least most, of them), and then you could
find out something about each one, and make a decision based on that.

I’ve been using PyQt for 10 years. Absolutely fabulous, fun, and I imagine the 
others are also excellent as they have all been around long enough to die 
naturally if they were not very useful.

A good starting point https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>.

All of the above mentioned work on FreeBSD as I used all to some
extent for GUI Apps on FreeBSD.

I would say the easiest for a newbie would be PyQt for the fact that
you can use the Eric IDE (http://www.freshports.org/devel/eric4/)
which will install the QtDesigner which makes designing GUIs easier.

If the licensing of PyQt is not appropriate for you (it's GPL only,
unless you buy a license), you can use PySide, which is almost a drop-in
replacement for it, that's licensed more liberally under the LGPL which
does allow its use in a non-GPL program.  Not sure if this matters to
you, but if you're planning to release your code ever, or sell a product
some day, you'll need to be aware of this.
