 At PyCon DC 2004, Guido was asked about wxPython: "wxPython is the best and 
most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit, given a number of constraints. The 
only reason wxPython isn't the standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter 
was there first."

 I don't think that this is a sign that we should discourage further work with 
wxPython.
