It should be noted that the port for 3.0 hasn't started yet for
wxPython and I'm not seeing anything about a port for PyQt either on
their website.

When I started out with Tkinter, I didn't find the docs to be any
better than what I found in wxPython. Each toolkit has it's own ups
and downs. I would recommend trying them until you find something you
like.
