As others have said, you *can* program anything in PHP, but PHP certainly
"lends itself" to web and command-line programming.

As you already know Python, take a look at wxPython <http://www.wxpython.org/>
which ought to provide you with a relatively easy way to write GUI apps in
Python and run them cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix).

Here are some screenshots of an application written with wxPython on both
Windows and Mac. (It also runs on Linux and UNIX, but no screenshots are
shown.)
