Several. Tkinter and wxPython are good choices -- they run on the three
major platforms: Linux/unix, Windows, and Mac OS X.

I believe this may be a reasonable choice as well. Another choice is
PyQt, which has a great simple model and definition, but has, I believe,
licensing issues if you intend to deliver a product to many PCs.

It is, indeed, possible (and often easy) to have the same program run
well on both platforms.

You can write portable programs (if you test across platforms). The
only truly portable programs in any language are abstract. Once you
start dealing with I/O and the real world, you inevitably have to face
issues one circumstance at a time. Both Tkinter and wxPython spend a
lot of effort in reducing the work you have to do. Don't fool
yourself with a manager-friendly slogan; programs must be tested to
work. Any I/O heavy (or threaded, or ....) application running on two
platforms will take more work than on a single platform. Python and
wxPython or Tkinter, for example, _allow_ you to write portable
programs, but they don't _guarantee_ it.
