WxPython versus Tkinter.

[Giampaolo Rodolà]

wxPython is not suitable for inclusion for many reasons.
One reason is that it is a *huge* library which requires a lot of
constant work (bugfixing, documentation, lots of commits, etc...)
which cannot weight on python development.
Keeping the two worlds separated is better for both of them,
especially for wxPython which doesn't have to follow the strict
politics surrounding the python stdlib.
For example, wxPython is free to break some API backward compatibility
on every new major version if this is desired.
Such a thing couldn't happen if it were in the stdlib for obvious reasons.
