I definately agree that code reuse is the way to go. 

One other option (other than wxWindows) is PyGTK/libglade.  It won't 
have the exact same look and feel as most windows programs (because it 
doesn't use native controls), but you get to build your GUI in Glade 
which is a pretty easy to use gui builder and with that you get the 
advantage of more natural separation between core program logic and user 
interface code.  I think wxWindows may have a gui builder, too, but I 
think it may be worth the effort to check both out.

Btw, with either option you get portability to Linux for free.
