I don't know about Ruby, but the standard for Python is py2exe to create Windows binaries. For me, the cross-plattform pyinstaller has worked well, once. For your GUI, TkInter is the standard. A lot of people like wxPython. All those are fairly actively developed. I suggest playing a little bit around with these options to decide whether Python is the better choice.
