There should be two online sources from python.org.

One is F/'s reference site which while not complete 
is very good - due out as a book from O'Reilly sometime...

http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm

The other is the original(and slightly outdated) crash 
course on Tkinter called the 'Life Preserver' by Matt Conway

http://www.python.org/doc/life-preserver/index.html

The Mark Lutz book, Programming Python, has a good 
intro to Tkinter if you have no previous Tcl/Tk experience.

John Grayson's book is fairly complete but does rather 
jump in the deep end. Its fine if you know the basics 
or if you've already used Tcl/Tk (or perl/Tk I guess)

My Python tutor gives a couple of Tkinter examples but 
they are very basic and only cover enough for the 
specific programs. They aren't really intended to 
teach Tkinter.
