I wouldn't say that. Python definately benefits from portability and 
easy to write and maintain code. Much better than C#, Delphi, Java, VB, 
etc. Tkinter is just UGLY though. wxPython looks good and isn't hard to 
code but it's hard to learn because of the bad documentation.

I'd like to see such a book. Maybe a couple. An in-debth book would be 
great for me. A Learn Visually wxPython book for beginners would be a 
good idea too.

I lot of Python people don't like wxPython. I'm really not sure why as 
it always works for me. I think wxPython is great but really needs more 
of an experienced and vocal community and as I said some Python centric 
documentation.
