Of course you can. There's a cgi module in the default distribution. Connecting to a MySQL database is as easy as downloading and compiling (remember, mysql has a C api) the MySQLdb module. Tkinter is the default GUI for python, but there are several others, including Gtk, wxWindows, and QT.

Also, you can create Python applets with the Grail Web Browser (Written entirely in Python), but the only problem with that is... you can only use them with Grail (so far :)).

You can make just about anything in Python that you can in other popular languages like C and Perl. You can even make games with pygame (http://pygame.seul.org), ncurses programs (comes standard, see docs), GUI's, CGI, database interaction, regular expressions, pretty much anything you want :)

Oh, yeah, you can always use Jython, which will let you use Swing, and compile your programs to java bytecodes runnable by any JRE.
