For that, I would recommend either tkinter or wxPython. I can't help you on electron because I haven't used it. https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/ https://wxpython.org/

What do you intend to make the GUI do?

I haven't used either myself, but I think wxPython and Qt allow for that. https://wxPython.org/ https://www.qt.io/

I've written some TKinter gui apps, but not super impressed, the buttons I get are just plain colored rectangles. How do you get rounded corners, borders, maybe 3d effects (such as pushing the button) & other things to fancy them up? or and other thing that we have in web ( bootstrap )

alireza gholamnia use bootstrap and websockets to make your gui client. in that way it'll be good looking and accessible from any device on the network (that can run a recent browser)
