When an year ago I had to learn Python+tkinter, I relied on the
following sources for tkinter:

- for beginning, the short turorial on   
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm was
quite useful
to start.

- Next step was more difficult: I knew there were books, like 'Python
and Tkinter Programming' by John Grayson, which are considered quite
good. But I did not have a way to acquire quickly such a book, and,
after all, I like 'learning by doing' better than 'learning by reading'.
So I started studying the tkinter examples packaged with Python
distribution, and then I invented  a small pet project of 
mine to learn more. Doing this, I had frequently to refer to the
original Tcl/tk documentation and sometime I had to look into
'tkinter.py' to understand how the tcl function was wrapped. I believe
thta this cannot be avoided with wrappers :
it would be too much an effort to fully duplicate the original docs, amd
mainly
to keep it up-to-date.

After this, there are still things of Tkinter that I did not know, but I
knew enough to complete my task.
