Could i use just python to create an app that allows me to tweet from my desktop, instead of going to my browser. Then typing the url and then tweeting?

With a simple google search you will see that there are numerous twitter api wrappers and OAuth modules for python. Twitter uses OAuth now so the old RSS methods no longer work.

For the UI, python comes with TK or you can use any of the tons of GUI toolkits for python. I recommend QT.

Concerning GUI for Python you can use Tkinter which comes with Python and you can probably build very quickly if you know what you are doing.

Btw I guess that you are going to need something like mechanize in order to achieve your goal.

*Mechanize is a python library for accessing websites, filling forms and posting information on the internet.
