I have to disagree.  The Python license is much more liberal then the GPL,
it's much more like the BSD license.  Tkinter is covered by the Python
license.  Tk, which is needed for Tkinter to work, is covered by a BSD
license, AFAICT.  This means there should be very few legal issues with
using Tkinter, probably fewer than with something GPL-licensed like PyGTK.

There is support in PyGTK.

Peace,
