Tkinter on way out? (was: Newbe-books)

[lvirden at yahoo.com]

According to Cameron Laird <claird at phaseit.net>:
:Perhaps so.  I trust that asdf believes the evidence he sees
:for Tkinter's demise.  I agree that wxPython has much to re-
:commend it.  What's most certain, though, is that there have
:been similar predictions about Tkinter's destiny for at least
:the last eight years.  The ... prematurity of these claims in
:the past makes me hesitate to write Tkinter off now.

Sorry - I hit the wrong button.  I guess I misunderstood mxPython -
I thought it was designed around a specific toolkit.  Does it
provide kde and gnome desktop compatibility?  If not, then it
seems strange that pythonians would move from one non-standard
library to another.
