You keep saying that, but you've given no good reasons for why we should 
believe you, or what the nature of this problem supposedly is.

The current situation has broad community support: there's a relatively 
lightweight GUI toolkit that ships with Python (Tkinter), even if it's 
not beloved by all neither is it especially hated, and an extremely 
healthy ecosystem of many alternative GUIs built on top of Qt, wxWindows, 
GTK+, and others. Where's the problem?

I think the only way to end this pointless discussion is this:

"Hitler would have loved Tkinter!"

Now that we've run into Godwin's Law, can we get back to something more 
productive? No need to thank me.
