You were probably right there :-)

My feeling is that tkinter is a little more widspread since it is in the
distribution but I am not sure.
Have a look at this thread ,or search google groups for tkinter wxPython and
you will find a lengthy discussion about wich one is the best.

My personal feelig without having used anyone much is that tkinter is more
"scriptic"  and not as good looking as wxPython wich seems more robust and
always uses native OS widgets.
None is "native python" (whatever that is) but relies on underlying librarys
(tcl/tk and wxWindows). tkinter is probably mor easy to make crossplattform
since it is already in all distributions but now I am in way over my head
and will stop rambling :-)

wxPython is most likely not a dead end anyway.
