Yes, python will act like any other program, such as C++. If you want to use python to run a gui (graphical user interface), then you would use Tinker. Just to give you an idea, I just downloaded a program called skencil. I get in the shell and type "skencil". I then get a window for to draw in. I take my mouse and make lines and drawings. I point my mouse to the file window and pull down the menu for save to save my document. So the application works exactly like, say, Adobe Draw, with small difference that I had to start it form my shell. I'm pretty sure there are ways to start applications without a shell. That isn't too hard. The hard part is writing a program with a graphical interface. This is always hard, in any languge.
