There are only two obvious ones, (i) you'd have to start by defining a
Tkinter interface, including semantics, that is independent of Tcl/Tk;
and (ii) since not all GUI toolkits would support all of the new
"Tkinter" interface, many users would end up having to program to a
'lowest-common-denominator'.

Personally, I think this would be a "good thing" for Python, and for GUI
toolkits that allready have Python bindings, a first approximation
(though not trivial) would be relatively easy to prototype...
