Future Python Gui?

When Tile becomes part of the core Tk library, it should be accessible 
from Tkinter as well. Tile has a nice notebook widget. See 
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/windowsxp.html, 
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/macosx.html and 
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/unix.html.

I'm not sure what tkgrid is: isn't that the standard Tk "grid" 
algorithm? If so, it's already accessible from Tkinter.

As for Tkhtml, it's undergoing *heavy* development: it's moving from a 
lightweight, basic HTML renderer into a full-featured browser widget 
with CSS support: see http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/ and 
http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html and http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/screenshot1.gif. 
  The drawbacks are that it's currently at an alpha stage, and while the 
hv3 browser based on Tkhtml 3 is very impressive, it's overkill for the 
simple display of HTML--and the API for constructing a simpler widget 
seems to be very complex. As well, because it's still alpha, no one has 
wrapped it for Tkinter as of yet.
