Umesh,
I would personally recommend wxPython. I believe that wxPython is more
modern and feature rich. It also doesn't depend on another scripting
langauge (TCL).

Nevertheless, there are some advantages to TkInter. One of them is the
fact that it is easier to learn and that it comes with pretty much every
distribution of Python.

wxPython comes with a nice demo program that demonstrates almost 
everything you can do with wxPython. Looking at the source of that 
program was probably the most valuable "documentation" available.

I hope that helps you,
