If you just wqant to wrap up some scropts Tkinter is probably slightly
easier to use (IMHO), but it doesn't look as nice.

wxPython looks better and is only slightly more complex. But it does have
a couple of GUI builder options in the shape of Glade and PythonCard.
If you want to build full blown GUI apps then WxPython is the way to go.

But search the archives, this gets debated at least every 6 months or so :-)
