I just started with Tkinter and I thought this was the only
difference. But I could be wrong of-course. ;-)

Certainly. In principle I want to work with 3, but not all libraries
work with it. (That is also why I choose Tkinter, that works with
both. wx only with 2.)

Also, in the Netherlands mostly Python 2 is used (as far as I know),
so it is good to have my code working with both from that perspective
also.
