I assume you mean Tcl/Tk? The toolkit behind Tkinter?
In fact the Tkinter stuff is so well done that you very
rarely need to delve into Tcl.

Visit my tutor and look at the GUI page. It covers the most
basic concepts of GUIs in general, some simple Tkinter scripts
and a comparison with wxPython.

The semi-official tutor on Tkinter (linked from the Tkinter
area of python.org) will then provide the detail needed to
dig deeper.

Once you undestand the basics you might then want to invrestigate
a GUI builder like Glade or PyCard. I've never used Glade for
anything serious but I see good reports about it from others.
