Not.

To me, your logic is backwards.  wxWidgets/wxPython are popular and have 
perhaps the highest usage (not counting IDLE) by voluntary choice. 
Tkinter's apparent penetration is pretty clearly boosted by being in the 
standard lib.  Non-analogy.  So you want to artificially boost the 
penetration of your minority favorite by putting it in the standard lib. 
To me, that is a bad solution.

The generic solution is better package fetching, such as apparently done (I 
have not used them yet) by setuptools and easy_install.  The installing an 
app needing wxPython should fetch and install that also and installing an 
app needing PyGUI would do the same for PyGUI.
