You can do it all in Tkinter if you want, it just takes more work. You
will need to create your own widgets. Other toolkits (like wxPython)
come with more powerful widgets already built, but the trade off is that
they are
1) not part of standard python which means you (and your users)
   need to install them
2) They are usually more difficult(*) to use than Tkinter
   (and will require more OOP knowlege than you currently have)

(*)But thats a relative thing, they are not very
difficult, just different. And once you get into them they
are much easier to use than creating your own widgets!
But there are no perfect toolkits, you need to look at
each and judge which one is best for you.

There is a page here that lists most of the options:
